One joule is equal to 0.2390 calorie. Joule is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N’m). 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.
