- Joule (J):
- The Joule is the SI unit of energy or work.
- One Joule is equal to the work done when a force of one Newton displaces a mass over a distance of one meter.
- Watt (W):
- The Watt is the SI unit of power.
- It is defined as one Joule per second.
- Curie (Ci):
- The Curie is a unit of radioactivity.
- One Curie is defined as 3.7 × 1010 disintegrations per second.
