What Does EV Stand For?

EV stands for Electron Volts

Electron Volts (eV) are a unit of energy commonly used in the fields of physics and engineering, particularly in the study of atomic and subatomic particles. One electron volt is defined as the amount of energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. It is a convenient measure for quantifying energy levels in atomic and molecular systems, as well as in the context of particle physics, where energies are typically expressed in eV or its multiples, such as keV (kiloelectron volts) and MeV (megaelectron volts).
