Quick context and interesting facts
The joule is named after James Prescott Joule, whose experiments helped establish that heat and mechanical work are equivalent forms of energy. In everyday life, electricity bills are often measured in kilowatt-hours, a unit of energy (not power) that reflects how much power you use over time.
