Units.Energy

An Energy value represents an amount of energy (or work) in joules, kilowatt hours etc. It is stored as a number of joules.

Note that since Joules is defined as Product Newtons Meters, you can compute energy directly as a product of force and distance:

Force.newtons 5 |> Quantity.times (Length.meters 4)
--> Energy.joules 20
