Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
Megajoule
A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to one million joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule was introduced as part of the metric system to measure large amounts of energy, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, aligning with the SI units established in the 20th century.
Current Use
The megajoule is used in fields such as physics, engineering, and energy industries to quantify large energy quantities, including in energy production, consumption, and scientific research.
