# Electron volt is the unit used to represent

energy

##### SOLUTION
Electron volt, unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics, equal to the energy gained by an electron (a charged particle carrying unit electronic charge) when the electrical potential at the electron increases by one volt. The electron volt equals $1.602\times 10^{-12}\,erg$  or  $1.602\times 10^{-19}\,joule$.
