Work to Move a Charge in an Electric Field in Electron Volts

The video tutorial explains the concept of electric potential energy and how work done by an external force affects a charge. It introduces the electron Volt (eV) as a unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the work done on a proton when it moves through an electric potential difference of 1 Volt, converting the result into Joules. It also clarifies that despite its name, the electron Volt is a unit of energy, not electric potential, and is used for positive energy values.

Describe the significance of the charge on a proton in relation to electric potential difference.

What is the relationship between Coulombs and Joules in the context of electric potential?
