	Joule - Recipes Encyclopedia
		The joule (symbol J, also called newton meter, watt second, or coulomb volt) is the SI unit of energy and work.
		One joule is the work required to exert a force of one newton for a distance of one metre, so the same quantity may be referred to as a newton metre or newton-metre (also with meter spelling), symbol N·m or N m.
		One joule is also the work required to move an electric charge of 1 coulomb through an electrical potential difference of 1 volt.
