The unit of energy in the SI system is the [ Joule ].
In the 'customary' system, it could be the [ foot-pound ], the [ inch-pound ], etc.
Other useful energy units are the watt-second, the dyne-centimeter,
the horsepower-hour, and the Kilowatt-hour.

∙ 14y agoThe standard metric system in use is the International System of Units, ("Système International d'Unités"), commonly abbreviated to the SI system. In this system, the unit of energy is the "Joule", named after the British physicist James Joule. One Joule is the energy trasnferred when a force of one Newton acts through a distance of one metre.
One Joule is exactly 10000000 ergs, or approximately 0.7376 foot-pound force.

∙ 11y agoThe SI unit of energy is the Joule. It represents the amount of energy required to heat one gram of water by one degree Celcius. Other forms of energy are referenced to the Joule, for example, it is the amount of energy used with a 1 amp electrical current passing across 1 volt for one second.

What is the basic unit of life in a cell structure?
energy
Can seismic energy be converted into electrical energy?
Sure they can, but it doesn't seem very practical, since probably there would not be much average power (energy per time unit) to be gained.

What is the Mathematical relation between energy of radiation and wavelength?
The energy of a basic unit of electromagnetic energy, the photon, is related directly to its frequency by a scaling factor called Planck's Constant, and the equation is often written e = Hf where e is energy unit, H is Planck's Constant and f is frequency unit.
Which is a unit of work and energy?
Joules (J) . . . . but a Joule is quite a small amount of energy, so kilojoule is more common (kJ).
