What does a Joule unit measure?
The joule is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units.
It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1-newton metre or N⋅m).
It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule.

The Concepts of Physical Science class I took sophomore year of college (1972-73) sometimes proves helpful in answering trivia questions.

I always think of kilojoule which is how much food is converted to energy or fat.

Glad that I had a physics course in high school. Still don't know what is done though.
