How to Convert Megajoules to Joules
A megajoule (MJ) is a larger unit of energy, where “mega-” means one million (106) times a joule, the standard SI unit of energy. To convert from megajoules to joules, you simply multiply by 1,000,000.
Formula
Quick Trick: 1 Megajoule = 1,000,000 Joules!
Let’s Solve One Together
Imagine you have an energy measurement:
- We measured: 2 megajoules
Here’s how we figure it out:
1. Take our formula: J = MJ × 1,000,000
2. Put in 2 megajoules
3. J = 2 × 1,000,000
Answer: 2,000,000 J
Definitions of Key Terms
Joule (J)
Joules are a standard unit of energy. They are used to measure energy, work, or heat. One joule is the energy needed to move a force of one newton over one meter.
Megajoule (MJ)
A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to one million joules. It is commonly used in large-scale energy measurements, useful for measuring energy in power generation and consumption.
