is proton volt = electron volt? if yes then why? even if proton is 1840 times massive then electron and eV Is work done in carrying an electron from one potentail difference to another when potentail differnece is 1 V.

Proton volt and Electron volt are both units of energy, but Proton volt is used to measure the energy of a proton, while Electron volt is used to measure the energy of an electron. One Proton volt is equivalent to about 1.6 x 10^-19 Electron volts.
Proton volt is closely related to the atomic structure as it is used to measure the energy levels of protons and electrons within an atom. The energy levels of an atom are determined by the interaction between protons and electrons, and the energy difference between these levels is measured in Proton volts or Electron volts.
Proton volt and Electron volt are commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to describe the energy of particles and interactions. They are also used in research and engineering to measure and manipulate the energy of charged particles, such as in particle accelerators and nuclear reactors.
No, Proton volt and Electron volt cannot be used interchangeably as they are used to measure the energy of different particles. Proton volt is used for protons and Electron volt is used for electrons. However, they can be converted into each other using the conversion factor of 1 Proton volt = 1.6 x 10^-19 Electron volts.
Proton volt is a unit of energy that is specifically used to measure the energy of protons, while other units of energy, such as joules and calories, can be used to measure the energy of any type of particle or system. Additionally, the energy of a proton in Proton volts is much smaller than the energy of a proton in joules or calories.
