What are Megaelectron-volt and Kilojoule

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics, equivalent to one million electron volts. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one million volts.

Definition of Kilojoule

A Kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy within the International System of Units, equivalent to one thousand joules. It's commonly used to express nutritional energy values in food and the energy consumption in physical activities.
