What are Calorie and Nanojoule

Definition of Calorie

A Calorie (symbol: cal), specifically a 'thermochemical calorie', is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It is commonly used in the field of chemistry and the energy content of foods.

Definition of Nanojoule

A Nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equating to one billionth of a Joule. It is a very small energy measurement often used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics and engineering, to quantify the energy of particles or small-scale energy transfers.
