Key Terminology
-
millijoule [mJ]
-
An SI derived unit of energy equal to 0.001 joule, used to measure very small energy amounts, especially in scientific and engineering contexts.
-
megajoule [MJ]
-
An SI derived energy unit equal to 1,000,000 joules, used to quantify large amounts of energy such as fuel or industrial processes.
-
joule
-
The SI unit of energy, defined as kg·m²·s⁻², serving as the base measurement for energy units like millijoule and megajoule.
