1 joule is equal to:
Correct answer: D. 107 ergs
- A. 104 ergs
- B. 105 ergs
- C. 106 ergs
- D. 107 ergs
Explanation
One Joule is the amount of work done when a force of 1 newton displaces a mass through a distance of 1 meter in the direction of the force applied. One joule = Nm (SI ) One joule = 107 ergs (CGS) Hence, D is the correct option

About Physical Quantities and Units
Physical quantities combine a numerical value with a unit, and are expressed using SI base units or derived units such as newtons, joules and pascals. The topic covers prefixes, unit conversion, dimensional analysis, significant figures and measurement uncertainty, while distinguishing scalar quantities from vectors where direction matters.
