If you raise the apple one meter in the air, you've used one joule of work. The word joule comes from the English physicist James Prescott Joule, who studied the relationship between heat and mechanical work, research that led to the First Law of Thermodynamics.
How is joule derived?
The joule is a derived unit defined as the work done, or energy required, to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one meter, so the same quantity may be referred to as a newton meter or newton-meter (also with metre spelling), with the symbol N·m or N m. It can also be written as kg·m2·s−2.
How much energy is in a joule?
1 Joule (J) is the MKS unit of energy, equal to the force of one Newton acting through one meter. 1 Watt is the power from a current of 1 Ampere flowing through 1 Volt. 1 kilowatt is a thousand Watts. 1 kilowatt-hour is the energy of one kilowatt power flowing for one hour.
