(joules)
In physics, a joule is a unit of energy or work. (TECHNICAL)
N-COUNT
Joule
This term has been applied to several units.
(a) The practical C. G. S. unit of electric energy and work--the
volt-coulomb. It is equal to 1E7 ergs--0.73734 foot pound.--.00134 horse
power seconds. A volt-ampere represents one joule per second.
(b) It has also been used as the name of the gram-degree C. thermal
unit--the small calorie.
Synonym--Joulad.
joule
[d?u:l]
(abbrev.: J)
¦ noun the SI unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point of application moves one metre in the direction of action of the force.
Origin
C19: named after the English physicist James P. Joule.
Wikipedia
Joule
The joule (symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to the amount of work done when a force of 1 newton displaces a mass through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force applied. It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
Examples of use of Joule
1. Nikki Joule The whole school business has been a nightmare.
2. Joyce Joule, a 54–year–old accountant, described Neville‘s new home as a "monstrous blot on the landscape", adding: "The building is an absolute eyesore – it is far bigger than the plans and bears no resemblance to the original building.
3. The former farmhouse, which dates back to the 16th century but was rebuilt in 1784 The farmhouse and near–derelict outbuildings had been in the same family for six generations before James Joule – who is in his 70s – sold up for 2million.
