Question

One electronvolt is
Options
A the total energy of an electron accelerated through 1 V
B the potential energy of an electron accelerated through 1 V
C the electric energy of an electron accelerated through 1 V
D the kinetic energy of an electron accelerated through 1 V
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

1 eV is defined as the KINETIC energy gained by an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1 volt. 1 eV = qV = (1.6x10-19)(1) = 1.6x10-19 J.

Hint

1 eV is defined as the KINETIC energy gained by an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1 volt.
