Understanding Energy Conversion: Megajoules to Gigajoules
Conversion Formula
To convert megajoules (MJ) to gigajoules (GJ), divide the energy value by 1,000:
GJ = MJ ÷ 1,000
Understanding the Units
Megajoule (MJ)
A megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules (106 J). It's commonly used to measure energy consumption in household appliances and food energy content.
Gigajoule (GJ)
A gigajoule equals 1,000,000,000 joules (109 J). It's typically used for measuring large-scale energy consumption in industries and power generation.
Common Applications
- Industrial energy consumption measurement
- Power plant output calculations
- Natural gas energy content measurement
- Large-scale energy efficiency assessments
