NCIt definition : A unit of electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy (as well as work and quantity
of heat) in the SI system, equal to the work done when the point of application of
a force of one newton is displaced through a distance of one meter in the direction
of the force or the work done when a current of one ampere passes through a resistance
of one ohm for one second. Joule is equal to 0.23889 gram-calorie (mean).;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A unit of electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy (as well as work and quantity
of heat), equal to the work done when the point of application of a force of one Newton
is displaced through a distance of one meter in the direction of the force or the
work done when a current of one Ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for
one second. One joule is equal to 0.23889 gram-calorie (mean).(NCI);
