The electron-volt is a unit of A. charge. B. electric potential. C. electric field. D. electric force. E. energy.

The answer is option E (energy)

Explanation:

There are many forms of energy which are divided into Potential Energy, Kinetic energy and the major energy sources are nonrenewable and renewable sources. Energy makes change; it does things for us. Since energy is a fundamental physical quantity, it is a property of matter that can be converted into work, heat or radiation. Energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created, nor can it be destroyed.

Energy conversion is essential for energy utilization. Energy can be measured in many different units which includes joules, calories, electron-volts, kilowatt-hours, and so many more.

The electron-volt is a unit used to measure the energy of subatomic particles. The electron-volt, symbol eV, can be defined as the amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron (a charged particle carrying unit electronic charge) moved across an electric potential difference of one volt. One electron-volt, eV is equal to 1.602176634*10-19 J. Where J is in joules.

E. Energy

Explanation:

Electron volt is a unit of energy commonly used in various branches of physics.

It is defined as the energy gained by an electron when the electrical potential of the electron increases by one volt.

The electron volt = 1.602 * 10^-12 erg, or 1.602 * 10^-19 joule
