Millijoule (mJ) to Joule (J) Conversion
👋 Welcome to the mJ to J Conversion tool! This calculator helps you convert energy from millijoules to joules. 🚀
Conversion Formula 🔄
The relationship between millijoules and joules can be expressed as:
J = mJ / 1,000Where:
- J = Joules
- mJ = Millijoules
Example Calculation
If you have an energy of 5000 mJ, the calculation would be:
J = 5000 mJ / 1,000 = 5 JUnderstanding mJ and J 🧠
What is a Millijoule (mJ)?
A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy equal to one-thousandth of a joule (0.001 J). It is commonly used in various scientific and engineering applications.
What is a Joule (J)?
A joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter.
Why Convert mJ to J?
Converting millijoules to joules is useful for understanding energy values in different contexts, especially in physics and engineering.

FAQs
Millijoules (mJ) and Joules (J) are units of energy. The prefix ‘milli’ means 1/1,000, so:
This means that 1 Joule is equal to 1,000 Millijoules.
To convert from Millijoules to Joules:
For example:
- 1,000 mJ = 1 J
- 500 mJ = 0.5 J
- 2,200 mJ = 2.2 J
To convert from Joules to Millijoules:
Millijoules are typically used when:
- Working with small energy values (less than 1 J)
- Measuring energy in electronic components
- Testing batteries and capacitors in low-energy applications
Joules are used for higher energy measurements, such as in mechanical and thermal systems.
Common energy values can be expressed in both mJ and J:
- A “2.2J” energy source = 2.2 J = 2,200 mJ
- A “10J” energy source = 10 J = 10,000 mJ
- A “100mJ” energy source = 100 mJ = 0.1 J
This notation is commonly used in energy specifications and measurements.
When calculating energy, ensure your units are consistent:
Remember to convert mJ to J before calculating, or adjust your final answer accordingly.
