| A unit of energy used in atomic and nuclear physics is the electron-volt (eV), which is defined as the energy a charge-field system gains or loses when a charge of magnitude e is moved through a potential difference of 1Volt. | ||||||||||||

| U
is Electric Potential Energy (Joules) is not V is Electric Potential (Joules/Coulomb) a.k.a Voltage, Potential Difference |
