Electron-Volt
An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing atomic and subatomic energies, especially in quantum physics and particle physics, replacing larger units like the joule for small-scale energies.
Current Use
The electron-volt is widely used in physics and chemistry to quantify energies at the atomic and subatomic levels, such as in spectroscopy, particle physics, and quantum mechanics, due to its convenience in expressing small energy values.
Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
