1 E6 J
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists energies between 106 joules (a megajoule, symbol MJ) and 107 joules.
- Weaker energies
- 1,000,000 J = 239 kcal – the nutritional value of a snack (e.g. a Mars bar) is around that value, typical servings of staple food such as 150 g of rice or 200 g of wheat bread as well.
- 2,684,520 J – a power of one horsepower applied for one hour
- 3,600,000 J (or 3.6 MJ) – 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour)
- 4,184,000 J – energy released by explosion of one kilogram of TNT
- 6,300,000 J = 1500 kcal is an often recommended value for the nutritional energy a woman not doing heavy labour needs per day (2000 kcal = 8.4 × 106 for men).
- Stronger energies
