Joule
J
Definition
The joule (symbol: J) is the SI base unit of energy, work, and heat. It is defined as the work done when a force of one newton moves an object one meter in the direction of the force. One joule equals one newton-meter or one watt-second.
History/Origin
The joule was named after James Prescott Joule (1818-1889), an English physicist who established the mechanical equivalent of heat. It was officially adopted as the SI unit of energy in 1948, replacing the calorie in scientific contexts.
Current Use
Joules are used universally in physics, engineering, and chemistry for measuring energy, work, and heat. Applications include electrical energy calculations, mechanical work, thermal energy, and energy efficiency measurements in all scientific and industrial fields.
