Electronvolt

eV

The electronvolt equals 1.602 ร— 10โปยนโน joules โ€” the energy gained by an electron accelerated through 1 volt. It is the natural energy unit of atomic, nuclear and particle physics. Chemical bonds are a few eV; LHC protons reach 7 TeV = 7 ร— 10ยนยฒ eV.

Real-world: Silicon band gap: 1.12 eV. Hydrogen ionization: 13.6 eV. LHC proton: 7 TeV. Photon wavelength 500 nm = 2.5 eV.

Watt-Hour

Wh

The watt-hour equals 3600 joules โ€” 1 W delivered for 1 hour. Used for phone, laptop and small-battery capacities. A typical smartphone battery is 10โ€“20 Wh; a laptop is 50โ€“100 Wh.

Real-world: iPhone battery: 12 Wh. MacBook Pro: 70 Wh. Power bank: 20 Whโ€“100 Wh. Airplane carry-on limit: usually 100 Wh.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 eV โ‰ˆ 1.602 ร— 10โปยนโน J.
  • Particle physics scales: eV โ†’ keV โ†’ MeV โ†’ GeV โ†’ TeV (1000ร— each).
  • Photon energy (eV) ร— wavelength (nm) โ‰ˆ 1240.

Avoid these

  • Confusing eV with V (volt) โ€” eV is energy, V is electric potential.
  • Mixing scales: treating MeV as twice eV โ€” it's a million times larger.
  • Using eV for macroscopic energy โ€” unwieldy numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How many watt-hours in a electronvolt?
One electronvolt equals 4.4505e-23 watt-hours.
How do I convert electronvolts to watt-hours?
Multiply the electronvolt value by 4.4505e-23 to get the equivalent in watt-hours.
