What are Electron-volt and Kilowatt-hour

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joules. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. This unit is commonly used in the field of atomic and particle physics as a convenient measure of energy because of its scale being suitable for energies involved in these subatomic processes.

A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy that represents the amount of work done when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour. It is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. This measurement provides a standardized way to discuss and compare the energy consumption of various devices and systems over time.

History of Electron-volt and Kilowatt-hour

A brief history of the Electron-volt to Kilowatt-hour conversion begins with the conception of the electron-volt in the early 20th century as a natural unit for energy in the burgeoning field of atomic physics. The kilowatt-hour emerged as a commercial energy unit with the advent of the electrical power industry. Tools to convert between these units have become essential for scientists and engineers dealing with energy consumption and production at different scales.
