What is Energy?
Energy is the capacity of a physical system to do work or produce heat. The SI unit is the joule (J), defined as the work done when a force of one newton is applied over one meter (1 J = 1 N·m = 1 kg·m²/s²). Other important units include the kilowatt-hour (kWh)—used on electricity bills (1 kWh = 3.6 MJ)—the calorie (cal)—used in nutrition (1 food Calorie = 1 kcal = 4,184 J)—and the electronvolt (eV), used in atomic and particle physics (1 eV = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J).
What is Foot-poundal?
Foot-poundal (symbol: ft·pdl) is a unit of energy in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equal to the work done when a force of one poundal acts through a distance of one foot. One foot-poundal is equal to approximately 0.04214 joule. Learn more about foot-poundal.
What is Erg?
Erg (symbol: erg) is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equal to 1 × 10-7 joule. Although largely replaced by SI units, the erg still appears in astrophysics, older scientific literature, and some fields of physics. Learn more about erg.
