Named for English physicist James Prescott Joule, the joule (J) is one of the cornerstone units of the International metric system. The joule is used as a unit of work, energy, and heat, and is widely used in scientific applications. If you want your answer to be in joules, always make sure to use standard scientific units. The "foot pound" or the "British thermal unit" are still used in some fields, but they have no place in your physics homework. | Named for English physicist James Prescott Joule, the joule (J) is one of the cornerstone units of the International metric system.
