	The imperial system was developed in Britain in the early 19th century, due to the need to establish uniformity among measurements. Many of the units had been described prior to that, however it was formalized by The Weights and Measures Act in 1824.<ref>Britannica. (August 25, 2015). ''British Imperial System'' [Online], Available: http://www.britannica.com/science/British-Imperial-System</ref> The history of how the units are derived is quite interesting, and can be read about at [https://www.~~unc~~.~~edu/~rowlett~~/units/~~custom.html~~ Dr. Rowlett's Unit Dictionary].

	<onlyinclude>'''Units''' are magnitudes of a physical quantity, defined by convention or law which sets a standard for any measurements of the same physical quantity.</onlyinclude> For example, [[mass]] is a physical quantity, and a [[kilogram]] is a unit that measures mass. Therefore any object with mass can be represented as a multiple of one kilogram. All units of a certain physical quantity can be equated to one another, and it is of common practice to use [[prefixes]] to do so. These help avoid using large numbers when writing out values, and gives a simple way to communicate them. Since this encyclopedia is focused on energy, the various units representing it will be explored on this page.		<onlyinclude>'''Units''' are magnitudes of a physical quantity, defined by convention or law which sets a standard for any measurements of the same physical quantity.</onlyinclude> For example, [[mass]] is a physical quantity, and a [[kilogram]] is a unit that measures mass.
