Electron-volts
An electron-volt (eV) is used in the fields of atomic and particle physics. It is the amount of energy gained or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
Joules
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule. It is the amount of work done when a force of one newton moves an object by one meter in the direction of the force also known as a newton-meter.
