What are Calorie and Joule

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy traditionally used in the field of nutrition to measure the amount of energy food provides to the body. Specifically, it is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius under standard atmospheric pressure. The term 'calorie' often refers to the kilocalorie (kcal), which is equivalent to 1,000 calories, especially when discussing food energy. In scientific settings, the calorie is more precisely known as the International Steam Table calorie, or Calorie (IT), to distinguish it from other calorie definitions.

Definition of Joule

A joule is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the physicist James Prescott Joule. One joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. Alternatively, it can be expressed as the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. The joule serves as a fundamental unit for measuring energy, work, and heat in various scientific and engineering applications.

5 cal/s 1260 J/min
6 cal/s 1512 J/min
7 cal/s 1764 J/min
8 cal/s 2016 J/min

Conversion of Calorie to Joule

1 cal/s = 252 J/min
1 J/min = 0.00397 cal/s

Example 1:
Convert 5 cal/s to J/min:
5 cal/s = 5 × 252 J/min = 1260 J/min

Example 2:
Convert 3.5 cal/s to J/min:
3.5 cal/s = 3.5 × 252 J/min = 882 J/min
