🧠 What It Means
1 joule = energy to move 1 newton over 1 metre.
Used to express heat, electricity, chemical energy.
Crucial in calculating hydrogen fuel cell efficiency.
❗ Key Challenges
Small unit: industrial energy is usually in kJ or MJ.
Understanding conversion from kWh, BTU, and calories.
🦁 Muzaffar’s Comment
“Every reaction in hydrogen — from splitting water to powering engines — starts with joules. It’s the real energy currency.”
🦉 Sameer’s Comment
“Joules feel small until you start thinking about how many you need to fuel a bus!”
