That's not *quite* true; a Joule is a unit of work, not electricity. It
equals 1 newton-meter (about .78 foot-pounds, IIRC). Joule's Law refers
to the conservation of energy in electrical circuits.
That being said, there is a slight similarity, but I'm not sure it's
intentional. Okrand used a lot of words starting with {'} in this card
set.
