What is a kilopond meter?

A kilopond meter is a unit of work or energy involving one kilopond force acting through one meter of displacement; it equals exactly 9.80665 joules.

What does electron-volt measure?

An electron-volt is the energy gained by an electron when it moves through a potential difference of one volt, commonly used in atomic and subatomic energy contexts.

Why convert kilopond meters to electron-volts?

Converting kilopond meters to electron-volts helps translate classical mechanical energy units into the quantum-scale energy units used in physics and electronics.
