bev

In physics, an electronvolt (symbol eV), also written electron-volt and electron volt, is the measure of an amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerating through an electric potential difference of one volt in vacuum. When used as a unit of energy, the numerical value of 1 eV in joules (symbol J) is equal to the numerical value of the charge of an electron in coulombs (symbol C). Under the 2019 revision of the SI, this sets 1 eV equal to the exact value 1.602176634×10−19 J.
Historically, the electronvolt was devised as a standard unit of measure through its usefulness in electrostatic particle accelerator sciences, because a particle with electric charge q gains an energy E = qV after passing through a voltage of V.

    M6 mayhem

    Thought this experience might be of interest for some of the community. Yesterday I was one of the many hundreds of frustrated drivers sitting on the M61/M6 around Preston. In my case that was for 8 hours, finally getting off at Preston around 10pm. What interested me about this otherwise...

    Have I covered everything?

    So, I'm picking up my first ever BEV (MG4 obviously) on Friday, a lovely looking white TLR. I've spent time lurking on the forum and trying to pick up as much info as possible and it's been an invaluable resource, thank you to all the contributors for sharing your experiences. Could you let me...
