What are Megaelectron-volt and Watt-hour

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electron-volts. One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. In the context of particle physics, MeV measures the energy of particles or photons.

A Watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. Essentially, it measures the total amount of energy used over time. Watt-hours quantify the work performed or energy provided over a period, commonly used to measure electricity consumption in homes and businesses.
