To understand what one electron volt (eV) is, we can break it down into a few steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Definition of Electron Volt**:
An electron volt is defined as the amount of energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt.
2. **Understanding Potential Difference**:
