The derived SI unit of energy, and work is the joule.

One joule is the energy used, or the work done, in applying a force of one newton through a distance of one metre; also defined as the energy to pass a current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm for one second.

The SI (metric) unit of work is the joule. The roule is also the base unit a energy,v work is just a variant of energy. One joule is the energy used (or work done) moving a force of one newton a distance of one metre. Or The energy used in passing a current of one ampere through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule.
