Megajoule
A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to one million joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule was introduced as part of the metric system to measure large amounts of energy, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, aligning with the SI units established in the 20th century.
Current Use
The megajoule is used in fields such as physics, engineering, and energy industries to quantify large energy quantities, including in energy production, consumption, and scientific research.
Therm
A therm is a unit of energy used primarily to measure natural gas consumption, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm was introduced in the early 20th century by the American Gas Association to standardize natural gas billing and measurement; it became widely adopted in North America for energy calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm is still used in the natural gas industry for billing and energy measurement, although other units like gigajoules and cubic meters are also common globally.
