joule [J]

Definition:

The joule is the SI unit of energy, defined as the amount of work done by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter.

History/origin:

The joule was named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule, who discovered the relationship between heat and mechanical work in the mid-19th century. The joule was first defined as a unit of energy in 1889 by the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

Current use:

The joule is widely used in physics and engineering to measure energy and work. It is commonly used in the fields of mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. The joule is also used in everyday life, such as to measure the energy content of food or the capacity of batteries.
