What are Megaelectron-volt and Calorie

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electron volts. An electron volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated by an electric potential difference of one volt. The Megaelectron-volt is a convenient unit when discussing the energies of particles in accelerators or cosmic rays and the binding energy of atomic nuclei.

Definition of Calorie

A Calorie, specifically a kilogram calorie or Calorie with a capital 'C', is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. The Calorie is commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content of foods. It is equivalent to 4.184 kilojoules. This unit should not be confused with the gram calorie or small calorie, which is the energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
