The electronvolt 2.4.1

Question 1

what is the electronvolt

Answer 1

a unit which is commonly used to express very small energies

Question 2

what equation links potential difference, energy, charge

Answer 2

V = E / Q

V = potential difference (V)
E = energy (J)
Q = charge (C)

Question 3

what happens when a charged particle is accelerated through a potential difference

Answer 3

it gains kinetic energy

Question 4

what is the equation linking charge of electron, potential difference, mass, and velocity

Answer 4

eV = 0.5 mv^2
