What are Electron-volt and Foot-pound

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy that's equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. It's a very small unit of energy used mainly in the field of particle physics and is equivalent to approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 joules.

A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the imperial and US customary systems. It is the amount of energy transferred when a force of one pound-force is applied over a linear displacement of one foot. It is also the rotational energy transferred when a torque of one pound-foot is applied through a full revolution.

History of Electron-volt and Foot-pound

The concept of converting electron-volts to foot-pounds dates back to the early 20th century, coinciding with advancements in quantum physics and the need for precise energy measurements in particle physics. The converter represents a bridge between quantum mechanics and engineering units, a tool that has become increasingly relevant in interdisciplinary scientific research and practical applications.
