While studying "Bohr's Atomic Structure", i observed that:
Numerical value of ionization energy in eV is equal to numerical value of Ionization potential in Volts(V)

Why is this so? and also is this applicable for any other units?

Thanks

What equations do you know that relate energy to volts?

I am talking about Photoelectric eqn

eV = hv - work func.

if you get, like  eV = 55eV (latter eV is electron volts)

Then corresponding V = 55V

sory for replying late. i was away for sometime ... some "NO INTERNET ZONE"

Perhaps you want something like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electronvolt&oldid=403615838 ?

Yes it was what i wanted. Thanks for the *delete me*!!
