Burning a single dietary calorie of fat releases about 4.184 kJ of heat. A wooden match releases roughly 1,000 small calories.
Convertitive uses the thermochemical (small) calorie, defined as exactly 4.184 joules — the energy needed to raise 1 g of water by 1 °C. Do not confuse it with the large calorie (kcal) used on US nutrition labels, which is 1,000 of these small calories.
The kilowatt-hour (kWh) equals exactly 3,600,000 joules — the unit on every household electricity bill. One kWh runs a 1,000 W appliance for one hour.
