1 E3 J - Definition and Overview

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists energies between 1,000 joules (a kilojoule, symbol kJ) and 10,000 joules.

• Weaker energies
• 1,000 J – Energy stored in a typical photography studio strobe unit
• 1,055 J – 1 British thermal unit
• 1,360 J – energy received from the Sun at the Earth's orbit by one square metre in one second
• 3,600 J – 0.001 kWh
• 4,184 J – energy released by explosion of one gram of TNT
• 4,186 J – 1 kcal (colloq. Calorie)
