1. You can't give it extra electron volts in the real world. 2. Modern accelerator / smashers regularly achieve trillions of electron volts . 3. The mass of a hydrogen atom, expressed in those units, is 1 billion electron volts . 4. On Oct . 15, 1991, it detected a hit of 300 billion billion electron volts . 5. "How does a source produce cosmic rays of 1020 electron volts ? " wondered Cronin. 6. For a metal like Aluminum, E _ F is of the order of 12 electron Volts . 7. Blewett then began the design study for the 33-billion electron volt Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, operating since 1960. 8. The typical gamma rays given off by the weapon have an energy of about 2 mega-electron volts ). 9. When wired to his batteries, Thompson's apparatus accelerated electrons to an energy of a mere few thousand electron volts . 10. An electron volt is the amount of energy an electron gains when accelerated by a potential of one volt.
