What are Electron-volt and Millijoule

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 or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated by an electric potential difference of one volt across a vacuum. Initially used in atomic and particle physics, the electron-volt is now a standard measurement for expressing tiny amounts of energy.

A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one-thousandth of a joule, the SI unit of energy. One millijoule is equivalent to the energy transferred or work done when a force of one newton acts through a distance of one millimeter. This small energy unit is commonly used in various scientific and engineering applications.

History of Electron-volt and Millijoule

The concept of the electron-volt emerged with the development of particle physics in the 20th century. It became a crucial unit for measuring tiny energy levels in quantum physics and in the field of high-energy particle physics. The conversion to millijoules is fundamental for bridging the gap between atomic energy scales and macroscopic energy measurements.
