The methods of standardization or calibration employed have much in common even in the cases that appear most diverse.
The joule (/ËdÊuËl/), symbol J, is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred (or work done) to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or NÂ·m).
Difference in Units. Energy is usually measured in Joules, the other units include ergs and calories. Power is measured in Watts, which is Joules per second, or ergs per second. Machine are usually described by its power rating, the higher the number the more powerful the machine.
