What is a Joule Second? - Explained Easily! - Physics Forums
Jul 9, 2010 · A joule in mechanical work is 1 N of force applied on an object to move it a distance of 1 m. So a joule persecond is doing the above action in one second. Btw, a "joule per second" and a "joule second" are not the same thing. Jule per second is dividing by seconds, joule second would be multiplying by seconds.
What really is a Pascal and a Joule? - Physics Forums
Jan 21, 2015 · Joule is energy, and an external force does work on an object by an amount of where F is the force and ds is a small chunk of the path that it travels (a line is 1d).
Torque & Joules: Fact or Fiction? - Physics Forums
Apr 22, 2014 · Wikipedia says that the unit of magnetic dipole moments is calculated by Joule/B that means that the torque is measured by joules I really doubt that, it seems non sense.
Joules per Coulomb and the Volt - Physics Forums
Mar 2, 2012 · Hey, A coulomb is the amount of charge that passes a point through a wire carrying one ampere for one second. Voltage is a measure of electrical potential energy in units of volts or joules per coulomb (energy/charge). Then 1 volt means 1 joule per coulomb; 2 volts mean 2 joules per coulomb, and 5 volts mean 5 joules per coulomb.
Is it possible to have negative joules? - Physics Forums
Nov 24, 2004 · Not sure what you are really asking, but the joule is a unit of energy or work. So, is it possible to have a negative energy or do negative work? Yes.
What is the Definition of 1 Joule and How Does it Relate to Lifting ...
Oct 19, 2006 · One joule is the amount of energy required to exert a force of 1N through a distance of 1 meter. It doesn't matter how fast you do this. The RATE at which you use this energy is power. A watt is a measure of power, which is a joule/sec. Energy is the capacity to do work, no matter what form it is in, whether it is electrical energy, mechanical energy, chemical …
How to convert cm^-1 into erg or joules - Physics Forums
Feb 5, 2010 · I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I can't seem to find how to convert cm^-1 into erg or joules... It's a pretty dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks a lot in advance!
Adiabatic cooling vs. Joule-Thomson effect - Physics Forums
Oct 2, 2006 · The observed cooling occurs due to Joule-Thomson effect which predicts cooling of air by isenthalpic expansion at room temperature (because air is not ideal gas and so temperature does not directly correspond to internal energy).
Why is Liter*atm equivalent to Joules? - Physics Forums
Feb 17, 2015 · Hey Patrick. Welcome! At the risk of being facetious, have you confirmed that the units are consistent? That, indeed, L*atm, when expressed in standard units, will be equivalent to Joules? Then imagine a gas at some pressure (expressed in atm) expanding by some volume (in L). It seems reasonable to express the work done in units of L*atm. (Though I would stick with …
Converting Coulombs to Joules Without Voltage - Physics Forums
Aug 1, 2015 · Hi Is it possible to convert coulomb to joule without knowing volt?
