Joule
The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. One Joule is the energy expended when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter in the direction of the force. The use of the joule is probably limited in Radiation Protection
but is used in the definition of Absorbed Dose
and the Electron volt
.
