About Energy Conversion
Energy conversion is the process of changing one form of energy into another. Accurate energy conversion is crucial for various scientific, engineering, and everyday applications.
Here are some common units of energy:
- Joules (J) - The SI unit of energy, representing the work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter.
- Calories (cal) - A unit of energy commonly used in food energy, representing the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
- Kilocalories (kcal) - Also known as "large calories," commonly used to measure food energy, where 1 kcal = 1000 cal.
- Watt-hours (Wh) - A unit of energy representing the amount of energy used by a device with a power of one watt operating for one hour.
- British Thermal Units (BTU) - A unit of energy used in the United States, representing the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
