This video introduces and explains the Electronvolt for A Level Physics.

In everyday life we use the joule to measure energy. When we consider the energy of individual particles or photons, it is often more convenient to use a smaller unit: the electronvolt, eV.

ELECTRONVOLT DEFINITION: THE ENERGY GAINED BY AN ELECTRON ACCELERATING THROUGH A P.D. OF 1 VOLT
