Joules
The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. One joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. It can also be defined as the energy transferred when one watt of power is applied for one second. The joule is a versatile unit used in various scientific and engineering contexts to measure energy, work, and heat. It is commonly used in physics, chemistry, and engineering to quantify the energy content of fuels, the work done by machines, and the energy used or produced in electrical circuits.
Gigajoules
A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000,000,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure very large quantities of energy, such as the energy consumption of cities, the energy production of power plants, and the energy content of large quantities of fuel. One gigajoule is the amount of energy required to apply a force of one newton over a distance of one billion meters, or the energy transferred when one gigawatt of power is applied for one second. Gigajoules are used in various fields, including energy production, industrial processes, and large-scale energy management, providing a standard measure for comparing substantial energy transfers and consumption.
