Units of Energy | QUEST

Explore units of energy, from the gram calorie to the joule, with this infographic. We measure energy in different ways for different purposes. Quantities of energy given in one unit can be converted to any other unit of energy. For example, 1 gram calorie is equal to 4.186 joules, which is used to measure heat energy.
