One eV (electron volt) of nuclear energy is equivalent of:(a) 1.6 × 10^−14 J (b) 1.6 × 10^−12 J (c) 1.6 × 10^−19 J (d) 1.6 × 10^−13 J

(c) 1.6 × 10−19 J    

Explanation

One eV (electron volt) of nuclear energy is equivalent to 1.6 × 10−19 Joule, which is the amount of energy acquired by an electron having a charge of 1.6 × 10^−19Coulomb when accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt.
