If an initially stationary electron falls through 9,000 volts of potential difference,
then it arrives at the positive terminal with 9,000 eV of energy.
1 electron-volt is a small unit of energy. It's the amount of energy gained or lost by the (amount of electric charge on one electron) moving through a (potential difference of one volt). 1 joule of energy is the same as about 6,241,400,000,000,000,000 electron-volts.
Ionization potential is the energy required to remove one electron from an atom in the gaseous state. The units may be eV(electron volts) or kJ/mol. These are readily interconverted. Usually the ionization potentials for successive electrons are quoted as the first ionization potential, second ionization potential etc.
electric potential energy
An electron volt is a unit of energy consisting of the energy resulting from the product of an electron through a potential of one volt, ev= .16E-18 Joules.
The potential energy of the electron is different for every situation, and is a function of the attractive and repulsive forces of nearby positive and negative charges respectively (protons and other electrons). Finding the potential energy for an electron with more than one other particle nearby is extremely complicated!
Electric potential can be high when electrical potential energy is relatively low if the charge is low as well. ... It is correct to say that an object with twice the electric potential of another has twice the electrical potential energy only if the charges are the same.
In physics an electron volt is a very small unit of energy. An electron volt is the amount of energy gained by the charge of an electron once it has moved across an electric potential difference of one volt.
Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J

As an electron is brought closer to a negatively charged plate, its potential energy increases. Since like charges repel, the electron has to be "brought" near the negatively charged plate ... it'll never go there on its own. You have to push it there, meaning you have to do work on it, and that work adds to the potential energy of the electron. As soon as you let it go, it'll whizz AWAY from the negatively charged plate, and that energy you put into it will turn into the kinetic energy of a hasty retreat.

The device that uses chemical energy to give charges electric potential energy is a battery because it uses chemical energy which gives off potential electric charges.

The stopping potential is the potential (energy/unit charge) or (Joules/Coulomb) that must be applied to stop the electrons from being ejected from the surface when the light is shone on it.
