Study Notes
SI Unit of Energy
- The correct SI unit of energy is the Joule (J).
- A Joule is defined as the energy transferred to or from an object when a force of one Newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre.
- It's a derived unit, meaning it's composed of other fundamental SI units.
- The relationship can be mathematically expressed as 1 Joule = 1 Newton × 1 metre.
- Other units of energy, such as the kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the calorie, are commonly used, but they are not part of the SI system.
- The Joule is a fundamental unit for measuring energy in scientific contexts and engineering applications.
- The SI unit for power is the Watt (W), which is defined as one Joule per second (1 W = 1 J/s).
- The Newton (N) is the SI unit for force.
- The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure.
