What is pulse energy ?
Pulse energy refers to the amount of energy contained within a single pulse or short-duration burst of energy, typically in the form of electrical energy or electromagnetic radiation (such as light or laser pulses). It is measured in joules (J) or some equivalent units depending on the context.
Pulse energy is characterized by its intensity and duration. The intensity of a pulse is the amount of energy delivered per unit area, and the duration is the length of time over which the energy is delivered. In mathematical terms, pulse energy (E) can be calculated as follows.
Pulse Energy Formula
Following waveform and formula is used for this pulse energy calculator of square wave type.

➨E = P * t
Where ,
E is the pulse energy in joules (J).
P is the power of the pulse in watts (W).
t is the duration of the pulse in seconds (s).
If you have current (I) information for a square wave pulse:
P = I2 * R
If you have voltage (V) information for a square wave pulse:
P = V2 / R
