alleryOne electron volt is the energy gained by an electron accelerated through:
A9 volts
B1 volt
C2 volts
D5 volts
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 1 volt
1. The unit is defined by an accelerating potential.
2. One electron volt is the energy gained by an electron accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt.
3. So the correct answer is 1 volt.
