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

Following is the table of SI unit:<\/em><\/p>\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

1J=1kg(m\/s)2<\/sup>=1kg.m2<\/sup>\/s2<\/sup><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is the CGS Unit Of Energy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following is the table of the unit in the CGS system:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CGS unit<\/strong><\/td>erg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\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

What is the Unit Of Energy In MKS System?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following is the table of the unit in the MKS system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Units Of Energy List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Energy units can be preceded by various factors and there are usually different units for measuring energy. Some common units include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. British thermal unit (BTU)<\/li>
  2. Horsepower<\/li>
  3. Kilowatt-hour (kWh)<\/li>
  4. Calorie<\/li>
  5. Electronvolts (eV)<\/li>
  6. Hartree (the atomic unit of energy)<\/li>
  7. Rydberg units<\/li>
  8. Barrel of oil<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Energy Conversion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Following is the table with energy conversion list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Commercial Unit of Energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Kilowatt-hour is the commercial unit of energy.
    When large quantities of energy are expressed, the SI unit of energy becomes small. Therefore, the commercial unit is used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
