What are Millijoule and Calorie

A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy equal to one thousandth of a joule. Derived from the metric system, it quantifies the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object one meter. It is also a measure of the amount of heat energy dissipated or utilized in a process. With its small magnitude, the millijoule is commonly used in scientific and engineering calculations where precise energy measurements are required.

A calorie is a unit of energy that is commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content of food. The term 'Calorie' with a capital 'C' is often used to denote the kilocalorie, which is equivalent to 1,000 small calories. These small calories are sometimes referred to as 'gram calories' or 'cal.' A calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.

History of Millijoule and Calorie

The Millijoule to Calorie IT Converter has its roots in the need to translate between different energy units.
