What are Calorie and Joule

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy that was originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. In the field of nutrition, it is often used to quantify the energy-producing potential of food. Scientifically, it is more accurately referred to as a kilocalorie, representing 1,000 small calories. The International Table (IT) calorie is specifically used in physical chemistry and engineering fields, where precise measurements are crucial. Its consistency across various scientific disciplines makes it a standard unit in many energy-related calculations.

Definition of Joule

A joule is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. The joule is named after James Prescott Joule, a physicist who studied the nature of heat and its relationship to mechanical work. A single joule is equivalent to one watt of power radiated or dissipated for one second. It plays a critical role in physics and engineering, allowing for the quantification and analysis of energy transformations in various systems.

Conversion of Calorie to Joule

1 cal/s = 4.184 J/s
1 J/s = 0.239 cal/s

Example 1:
convert 10 cal/s to J/s:
10 cal/s = 10 × 4.184 J/s = 41.84 J/s

Example 2:
convert 5 J/s to cal/s:
5 J/s = 5 × 0.239 cal/s = 1.195 cal/s
