What are Calorie and Joule

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy that measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Often used in chemistry and physics, it helps quantify energy transfer in processes like heating and cooling. In dietary terms, it is used to express the energy content in food, although technically these are kilocalories. The International Calorie, or Calorie (IT), is precisely defined in terms of the joule, the standard SI unit of energy, which aids in scientific calculations.

Definition of Joule

A joule is the SI unit of energy, defined as the work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter in the direction of the force. It is a versatile unit used across various scientific disciplines to measure energy, work, or heat. One joule is equivalent to one watt-second, providing a link between mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy. Its universal acceptance as the standard energy unit facilitates consistent energy measurement and comparison across different fields of study and applications.
