Medical Definition of joule. : a unit of work or energy equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of one meter.
A joule per meter (J/m) is a metric unit of force. In mechanics, a joule is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting to move an object through a distance of one meter in the direction in which the force is applied (1 J = 1 NÂ·m).herefore, 1 N = 1 kgÂ·m/sÂ². A joule per meter (J/m) is a metric unit of force. In mechanics, a joule is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting to move an object through a distance of one meter in the direction in which the force is applied (1 J = 1 NÂ·m). Therefore, joule per meter is equal to newton.
