What are Microjoule and Electron-volt

A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule. The joule is the SI unit of energy, named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule. It represents the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter. In terms of electricity, a microjoule can also represent the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one milliampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second.

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic gain or loss by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one volt in a vacuum. It is a tiny measure of energy, used mostly in atomic and particle physics. One electron-volt is equivalent to 1.602 x 10^-19 joules. Despite its name, it is not a part of the International System of Units (SI), but it is widely used in the field of physics.

History of Microjoule and Electron-volt

Microjoule to Electron-volt conversion originated from the need to relate macroscopic energy measurements to microscopic particle energies. This conversion is crucial in fields like particle physics, where electron-volts are the preferred unit due to their convenience when dealing with subatomic particles.
