Common Energy Conversions

1 kJ = 1,000 J

1 MJ = 1,000 kJ

1 calorie = 4.184 J

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 J

1 Wh = 3,600 J

1 kWh = 3,600,000 J

1 BTU ~ 1,055.06 J

1 ft-lb ~ 1.35582 J

Food calorie note: The "Calorie" shown on food labels is normally a kilocalorie (kcal). Therefore, 1 food Calorie = 1 kcal = 4,184 joules.
