This is the kind of catastrophic mistake that you can easily get sucked into by being sloppy with your units and pretending that you can ...
How to convert the electron volt into Velocity unit?
WEBDec 23, 2017 · Electron volt is an energy unit,1 eV = $1.602\times 10^{-19}$ J. It can be used in the context of the kinetic energy of a particle, the potential energy of a system, the mass-energy of a system or particle and so on. In your situation, it sounds like it is used as a kinetic energy.
Why do we use the electron volt? - Physics Stack Exchange
WEBNov 23, 2016 · The electron-volt is a convenient unit of energy when considering electrons moving between points at different potentials. The convenience came from having numerical values which are around or greater than one, 1eV = 1.6 ×10−19J 1 e V = 1.6 × 10 − 19 J. It was first used in the 1930s.

Is temperature of 1 Kelvin equivalent to 1 eV in natural unit?
WEBJun 14, 2021 · In other words, we could say that a system has a temperature of 1 eV, or 300 eV; but these are not equivalent to 1 K or 300 K any more than "1 second of distance" is equivalent to 1 meter. Rather, we are defining our temperature scale as something like, "if the average KE of an atom in a monatomic ideal gas is 3 eV, then the temperature of the ...
