What are Calorie and Attojoule

Definition of Calorie

A calorie (symbol: cal) is a unit of energy. Although not an SI unit, it is widely used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food. One calorie is approximately equal to 4.184 joules and represents the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.

Definition of Attojoule

An attojoule (symbol: aJ) is a sub-multiple of the joule, which is the SI unit of energy. One attojoule equals 10^-18 joules. It represents a very small amount of energy, often used in the fields of particle physics, quantum mechanics, and when measuring energy on a microscopic scale.

Conversion of Calorie to Attojoule

1 cal th = 4.184 × 10 18 aJ
1 aJ = 1/4.184 × 10 -18 cal th

Example 1:
Convert 10 cal th to aJ:
10 cal th = 10 × 4.184 × 10 18 aJ = 41.84 × 10 18 aJ

Example 2:
Convert 5 cal th to aJ:
5 cal th = 5 × 4.184 × 10 18 aJ = 20.92 × 10 18 aJ
