What are Gram-force and Electron-volt

Gram-force is a unit of force not part of the modern SI metric system. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in standard gravity on the surface of the Earth. It equates to approximately 0.00980665 newtons, the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Gram-force is commonly used in physics and engineering to measure force in contexts where mass and gravity are relevant variables.

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 is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. It's a very small unit of energy used primarily in the field of high-energy physics, atomic physics, and condensed matter physics. One electron-volt is equivalent to approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 joules, which is the SI unit of energy.

History of Gram-force and Electron-volt

Historically, the conversion from gram-force centimeters to electron-volts originated in the scientific need to bridge classical mechanics with quantum physics. This conversion allows for the comparison and understanding of macroscopic forces at a microscopic, particle-level energy scale, enhancing our grasp of fundamental physics principles and enabling precise measurements in research and applied science.
