Understanding Calories and Joules
What is a Calorie (cal)?
A calorie (cal) is a unit of energy. The "small calorie" or "gram calorie" is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
What is a Joule (J)?
The joule (J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one meter.
Why Convert cal to J?
Converting calories to joules is essential for standardizing energy measurements in scientific and engineering fields. While calories are common in nutrition, joules are the standard unit of energy in physics. Our converter uses the standard conversion: 1 cal = 4.184 J, providing simple and accurate results.
