calorie to Joule Conversion Formula

To convert from calorie (cal) to Joule (J), use the following formula:

$\textbf{ Joule} \text{ (J)}$

$= 4.184\times \textbf{ calorie} \text{ (cal)}$

With $4.184$ is the ratio between the base units Joule (J) and calorie (cal).

Example

Let's convert 5 calorie (cal) to Joule (J).

Using the formula:

$5 \times 4.184 = 20.92$

Therefore, 5 calorie (cal) is equal to $20.92$ Joule (J).

What is a calorie (cal)?

A calorie (cal) is a base unit of energy. The plural form is calories.

What is a Joule (J)?

A Joule (J) is a base unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). The plural form is Joules.

What is the International System of Units (SI)?

The International System of Units (SI) is the modern form of the metric system and the most widely used system of measurement in the world. It is founded on seven fundamental units: the second (time), meter (length), kilogram (mass), ampere (electric current), kelvin (thermodynamic temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).
