What are Electron-volt and Attojoule

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 joules. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. Widely used in physics and chemistry, the electron-volt is a convenient unit for expressing small amounts of energy typical in atomic and subatomic processes.

An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules. It's a very small energy measurement scale used primarily in the fields of physics and chemistry to express the energy levels of particles and photons at the quantum scale. The attojoule is often used in experimental physics for representing energy values at the atomic level, where the interactions and transitions involve extremely low quantities of energy.

History of Electron-volt and Attojoule

The concept of converting electron-volts to attojoules emerged from the need to quantify energy at the atomic scale. Electron-volts have been a standard in particle physics since their coinage in 1881 by Helmholtz. Attojoules later provided more granularity for smaller energy measurements. This converter is a modern tool reflecting the continuous advancement in precision for scientific calculations.
