Dit word algemeen gebruik in [[Vastetoestandfisika\|Vastetoestand-]], [[Kernfisika\|Kern-]] en [[partikelfisika]], dikwels saam met die [[SI#SI-voorvoegsels\|voorvoegsels]] m, k, M, G of T. <!-- Moet nog vertaal word▼ The unit electronvolt is accepted (but not encouraged) for use with [[SI]]. It is widely used in [[Solid-state physics\|solid state]], [[Atomic physics\|atomic]], [[Nuclear physics\|nuclear]], and [[particle physics]], often with [[SI prefix\|prefixes]] m, k, M, G or T. In a recorded lecture from 1961 [[Richard Feynman]] apologised to his students for this failure by atomic physicists to use the appropriate SI unit (which would be the [[atto]]joule): :''"Nearly a third of what you have to learn consists of different ways of measuring the same thing, and I apologize for it ... A single atom is such a small thing that to talk about its energy in joules would be inconvenient. But instead of taking a definite unit in the same system (like 10{{e\|-20}} J), [physicists] have unfortunately chosen, arbitrarily, a funny unit called an electronvolt (eV) ... I am sorry that we do that, but that's the way it is for the physicists."'' <ref>[http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/feynman.htm Transcription of part of a 1961 lecture by Richard Feynman]</ref> [[Ionisasie energie]]ë en ander atoomeienskappe word dikwels aangehaal in terme van elektronvolt, veral in ouer tekste. In [[chemistry]], it is often useful to have the molar equivalent, that is the kinetic energy that would be gained by a [[mole (unit)\|mole]] of electrons passing through a potential difference of one volt. This quantity is equal to [[1 E4 J\|96.48538(2)]] [[Joule per mole\|kJ/mol]]. [[Ionization energy\|Ionization energies]] and other atomic properties are often quoted in electronvolts, especially in older texts. ▲<!-- Moet nog vertaal word ==Using electronvolts to measure mass== [[Albert Einstein]] reasoned that energy is equivalent to [[mass]], as famously expressed in the [[mass-energy equivalence]] formula ''E'' = ''mc''² (1.0000 [[kilogram\|kg]] = 89.876 [[petajoule\|PJ]]). It is thus common in particle physics, where mass and energy are often interchanged, to use eV/''c''² or even simply eV as a unit of mass.
