Is it correct for me to say that 1 Joule of energy is equals to 1N of force?

    No it is not.  A joule is energy which is the product of both force and distance.  It requires movement.  A force alone does not provide energy.  ie 1 J could be produced by a force of 1N moving something 1m.  But also by 0.5 N moving 2 m .  W ( energy) = F * d

    No, it is not correct to say that ANY amount of energy is equal to a force.

    If you don't understand that energy and force are different things, then you don't understand basic physics.

    BY work energy relation:

    =>W = ∆E OR

    =>E = ∆W

    =>E = F x ∆s

    =>If 1 N Force displaces an object by 1 m, then the required energy is 1 Jule.

    Further by dimensions it can be ascertained:

    If 1 Jule = 1 Newton

    => Newton-meter =  Newton

    => [MLT^-2] - [L] =   [MLT^-2]

    =>[ML^2T^-2] = [MLT^-2]

    As L.H.S. ≠ R. H. S.

    => 1 Jule ≠ 1 Newton
