1 electron volt= __________ J.(a) 1.6*10^-19(b) 4.8*10^-19(c) 1.6*10^-10(d) 10The question was asked in an international level competition.This interesting question is from Electrostatic Potential topic in division Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) 1.6*10^-19

For explanation I would SAY: 1 electron volt is the amount of work done if an electron is passed through a potential difference of 1V. Therefore the work done = 1V*charge of an electron = 1.602*10^-19 J. But it is a small quantity and hence we USE kilo electron volt and MEGA electron volt in PRACTICAL.
