Explanation

• The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J).
• It is the unit of energy, work, and heat.

Additional information:

• 1 Joule (J) = 1 Newton × 1 meter
• Calorie – 1 cal = 4.184 J
• Kilowatt-hour (kWh) – 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J
• Electronvolt (eV) – 1 eV ≈ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
• Erg (CGS unit) – 1 erg = 10⁻⁷ J
