This question has been answered in wikipedia:
A joule is ...The work required to continuously produce one watt of power for one second; or one watt second (W·s) (compare kilowatt hour). This relationship can be used to define the watt.

The kilowatt hour, or kilowatt-hour, (symbol kW·h, kWh) is a unit of energy equal to 3,600,000 joules. Energy in watt hours is the multiplication of power in watts and time in hours.http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour
3.6Mj is an amount of energy. The "M" is the metric multiplier for one million (short for Mega) and the "j" means joules, the metric unit of energy named after the physicist "James Prescott Joule". 3.6Mj is therefore 3,600,000 joules of energy. 1 joule is the amount of energy needed to displace a force of 1 newton through a distance of 1 metre. It is also the amount of energy consumed in 1 second at a power level of 1 watt. 3.6Mj will therefore displace a force of 1 newton though 3.6Mm (3600km) or a force of 3.6Mn (3.6 Mega newtons) through a distance of 1 metre.
A Joule is a unit of measure for energy. The unit breaks down into N*m (Newton meters). A kJ is 1x10^3J.
"Joule" is an amount of energy. You can hold it in your hand or put it in a jar.If your friend comes along and gives you another joule, then you have twiceas much energy as you had before."Watt" is the rate at which energy moves from place to place. If another friendis coming along and giving you another joule of it every second, then your energyis building up at the rate of one watt."Kilowatt" just means 1,000 watts . . . 1,000 joules every second.So there are a huge number of ways you could collect 360,000 joules of energy.Here are a few ways it could happen:-- 1 watt for 360,000 seconds (100 hours)-- 10 watts for 36,000 seconds (10 hours)-- 100 watts for 3,600 seconds (1 hour)-- 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 360 seconds (6 minutes)-- 10 kilowatts for 36 secondsIn each case, you have 360,000 joules when the time is up.
To determine the joules of energy consumed, you would need to know the conversion factor from the units displayed on the electrical meter to joules. This conversion factor varies depending on factors like the voltage and current of the electricity supply. Typically, 1 unit of energy is equivalent to approximately 3600 joules. So if the meter reads 400 units, the energy consumed would be around 1,440,000 joules (400 units * 3600 joules/unit).

About one megajoule. About, because Joule (as an abbreviation) should be spelt with an upper case initial, since it is named after a real person. 1MJ.For a list of all the SI prefixes, (mega, milli,) see the subject under the BIPM website. (Bureau Intenational des Poids et Measures). This is the international agency responsible for these things.
In physics, MJ stands for "mega-joule," which is a unit of energy equal to one million joules. It is used to represent large amounts of energy in various applications and systems.
One MJ ,Mega Joule, is aqual to 1 million joules. Therefore: 600/1000000= 0.0006J
1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 Joule1 MeV = 106 eV = 1.6 x 10-13 Joule
You can't convert them directly, because they measure different things. The unit for energy is the Joule. Power means how fast energy is transferred; it is measured in Joules/second, also called Watts.

There are 1,000,000,000 joules in a gigajoule.
1 erg is equal to 0.0000001 joules.
One joule equates to 0.2388459 calories.
