The energy which an ${e^ - }$ acquires when accelerated through a potential difference of $1 \,volt$ is called

A

$1 \,Joule$

B

$1$ $ Electron volt$ 

C

$1\, Erg$

D

$1\, Watt$.

The energy which an ${e^ - }$ acquires when accelerated through a potential difference of $1 \,volt$ is called

this question can be solved by using the formula, $K . E=e V,$ where $e$ is the charge of an electron and $V$ is voltage. so here the kinetic energy would be equal to $\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right) \times 1$ which is $1 e V$
