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!
2.73 eV is what I got, can someone confirm??
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.
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.
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.
Physically put, the electron has more energy the farther ( higher ) it is from the nucleus. Simple potential energy. PE = mgh
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.
electrons in the first electron shell have the lowest possible potential energy because YOUR MOM DROPPED U ON YOUR HEAD WHEN U WERE A BABY

Both are equal.
shifts to a more electronegative atom.

Potential energy. Potential energy = mass * gravitational constant * height As you see, the further the electron is from the nucleus ( how " high " it is ) the more energy it contains. So, that would be the outer valance electron(s).
Somebody is trying a trick question! The electron that comes out of the negative terminal has zero potential energy. With respect to the positive terminal it has -1.5V of electrical potential energy, and so does every other electron at 0.0V whether or not they came out of the battery.
No; electron-volt is a measure of energy, not of voltage (or potential).
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.

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.
