Units of energy Units of energy Because energy is defined via work, the SI unit for energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honor of James Prescott Joule and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units An energy unit that is used in atomic physics, particle physics and high energy physics is the electronvolt (eV). One eV is equivalent to 1.60217653×10 J. In spectroscopy the unit cm = 0.000123986 eV is used to represent
Work unit Communist Party infrastructure. Work units were the principal method of implementing party policy. Also workers were bound to their work unit for life. Each "danwei" created their own housing, child care, schools, clinics, shops, services, post offices, etc. The unit concept used in developing the work unit comes from Hegelian and especially behaviorist social science.
