Kiloelectron-Volt
A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts, commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing energies at the atomic scale, with the prefix 'kilo' added later to denote 1,000 electron-volts, especially in high-energy physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
The keV is widely used today in fields such as X-ray spectroscopy, astrophysics, and particle physics to quantify energies of particles, photons, and nuclear processes.
Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
