Method: Joules.kinetic_energy_v2

Defined in:
lib/joules/electric_fields.rb

.kinetic_energy_v2(voltage, charge) ⇒ Float

Note:

There is one other method for calculating kinetic energy.

Calculates the kinetic energy of an electron given voltage.

Examples:

Joules.kinetic_energy_v2(20, 2) #=> 2.5e+20

Parameters:

  • voltage (Int, Float) —

    voltage is in volts

  • charge (Int, Float) —

    charge is in coulombs

Returns:

  • (Float) —

    return value is in electronvolts
