Energy, in simple terms, can be defined as the capacity for doing work. It can occur in kinetic, potential, electrical, chemical, nuclear, thermal, and other forms. It is classified as renewable energy<\/a> and non-renewable energy. Further, in this article, we shall discuss the various units of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the SI Unit of Energy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the name of this international unit is kept in honor of James Prescott Joule, a British physicist whose works contributed to the establishment of the energy concept. When we look at the unit in fundamental terms, 1-N.m is equal to 1 Joule and, in terms of SI base units it can be represented as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The erg is equal to 10-7<\/sup> J. An erg is defined as the amount of the work done by the force of one dyne on one-centimeter distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
