Energy, eV

The electronvolt (symbol eV, or, rarely and incorrectly, ev) is a unit of energy. It is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single unbound electron when it passes through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt, in vacuum. In other words, it is equal to one volt (1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb) times the charge of a single electron (in coulombs). The one-word spelling is the modern recommendation although the use of the earlier electron volt still exists. Read more

- eV (Metric):

Broadly speaking, energy refers to "the potential for causing a change". There are different forms of energy. Many forms of energy refer to changes in movement of objects or their potential for causing other kinds of change. Hence, in the real world, energy can be viewed as the ability to perform an action.
