Megajoules (MJ)
Definition
A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000,000 joules (10⁶ J). It is used to express large-scale energy quantities.
History
The megajoule became commonly used with the growth of industrial energy measurement in the 20th century, particularly for fuel energy content and large engineering systems.
Current use
Megajoules are used to express the energy content of fuels (e.g., natural gas, gasoline), industrial process energy, and large-scale thermal systems in engineering and environmental science.
Electronvolts (eV)
Definition
An electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. It equals approximately 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules.
History
The electronvolt emerged in the early 20th century with the development of particle physics and quantum mechanics. It provided a practical unit for describing atomic and subatomic energy scales.
Current use
Electronvolts are the standard unit in particle physics, nuclear physics, semiconductor physics, and quantum chemistry for expressing binding energies, photon energies, and particle masses.
