  2. Electronvolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronvolt

    An electronvolt is the amount of energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves through an electric potential difference of one volt.Hence, it has a value of one volt, which is 1 J/C, multiplied by the elementary charge e = 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 C. [2]

  3. Photon energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_energy

    is energy (joules in the SI system) [2] is the Planck constant; is frequency [2] This equation is known as the Planck relation. Additionally, using equation f = c/λ, = where E is the photon's energy; λ is the photon's wavelength; c is the speed of light in vacuum

  4. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The SI unit of electric potential energy is joule (named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule). In the CGS system the erg is the unit of energy, being equal to 10 −7 Joules. Also electronvolts may be used, 1 eV = 1.602×10 −19 Joules.

  5. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    Energy is defined via work, so the SI unit of energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honour of James Prescott Joule [1] and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units

  8. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The joule (/ dʒ uː l / JOOL, or / dʒ aʊ l / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). [1] It is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a mass through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force.
