    Physics Questions


    1 eV = 1.6 x 10 ^ -19 J

    so 100 eV = 100(1.6 x 10 ^ -19) J

    and since W = QV

    isn't it [100(1.6 x 10 ^ -19)] x [100 000] ?

    Surely its just:

    1 eV = 1.6 x 10 ^ -19 J

    so 100,000 eV = 100,000(1.6 x 10 ^ -19) = 1.6 x 10 ^ -14 J

    ?

    It certainly is.
