Joule
Kilocalorie is largest. 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories = 4,200 Joules = 3.98 BTU
In 1 joule there is 0.238902957619 calories of heat. A joule is the measurement of work, energy or the amount of heat in the International System of Units.
Hello the question is to be, "how many calories of heat make up one joule?" 1/4.18 calorie will be equal to 1 joule
SI units for specific heat capacity is joule per kilogram kelvin (J/kg,K).
The most common units of heat are the Calorie, Joule and BTU (British thermal unit) heat is a form of energy.
Calorie is the unit of heat energy in cgs system. One calorie is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water through one degree Celsius. But in MKSA system of units, joule is used as the unit of heat energy. One calorie is equal to 4.180 joule. Calorie is usually used in bio chemical changes.
Joule, calorie, BTU (British Thermal Unit)
Calorie is the largest which equals to 4.16 joule. Of course calorie is not SI unit. It was used in olden days. Any way we use it till date in case of bio energy derived right from food.
The calorie is used for heat, 1 calorie heats 1 gram of water by 1 degC. The Joule is used for mechanical energy, but there is a fixed relation, 1 calorie = 4.2 Joules
