What are Joule and Kilogray

Definition of Joule

The joule, named after the physicist James Prescott Joule, is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of work done when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. Essentially, one joule is equivalent to one newton-meter or one watt-second. It is used extensively in physics and engineering to quantify energy transfer or conversion. As a versatile unit, it plays a crucial role in various fields such as thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and mechanics, providing a universal measure for energy-related calculations.

Definition of Kilogray

A kilogray is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), used primarily in radiology and radiation therapy. It quantifies the energy imparted by ionizing radiation to matter, typically expressed in joules per kilogram. One kilogray equals 1,000 grays, where one gray represents the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter. Kilograys are crucial in medical treatments, as they help determine the appropriate radiation dosage for effective cancer therapy, ensuring that patients receive safe and effective treatment levels.

Conversion of Joule to Kilogray

1 J/kg/s = 0.001 kGy/s
1 kGy/s = 1000 J/kg/s

Example 1:
convert 5 J/kg/s to kGy/s:
5 J/kg/s = 5 × 0.001 kGy/s = 0.005 kGy/s

Example 2:
convert 3.5 J/kg/s to kGy/s:
3.5 J/kg/s = 3.5 × 0.001 kGy/s = 0.0035 kGy/s
