Joules to Kilojoules

The joule is the electricity equal to the force on an object of 1 newton at a distance of one meter. One joule is identical to the warmth electricity dissipated by way of the current of 1 ampere thru one ohm of resistance for one 2d.

One joule is also equal to the power had to flow an electric powered rate of 1 coulomb thru a capacity distinction of 1 volt. In addition, one joule is also identical to the only watt-2nd.

The joule is the SI derived unit for strength in the metric system. Joules may be abbreviated as J; as an instance, 1 joule may be written as 1 J.

One kilojoule is identical to at least one,000 joules, which are the electricity equal to the force on an item of one newton at a distance of 1 meter.

The kilojoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric gadget, "kilo" is the prefix for 10^three. Kilojoules can be abbreviated as kJ; for instance, 1 kilojoule can be written as 1 kJ.

How to transform joules to kilojoules

One joule is identical to thousandth of a kilojoule:

1J = 0.001kJ

The electricity in kilojoules E_(kJ) is equal to the strength in joules E_(J) divided with the aid of a thousand:

E_(kJ) = E_(J) / one thousand

Example

Convert 500 joules to kilojoules.

The energy E in kilojoules (kJ) is same to 500 joules (J) divided with the aid of a thousand:

E_(kJ) = 500J / 1000 = 0.5kJ
