What is Kilowatt-hour?
The kilowatt-hour (symbol: kWh) is a composite unit of energy equal to one kilowatt (kW) of power sustained for one hour.
One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6 million joules (3.6 MJ).
Common Uses
The kilowatt-hour is the standard unit used by electric utilities for billing consumers. It measures the amount of electrical energy consumed by households and businesses over time.
What is Joule?
The joule (symbol: J) is the base unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI).
It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force’s motion through a distance of one meter.
Common Uses
The joule is used in all fields of science and engineering to measure work, energy, and heat. It is a key unit in physics for calculating kinetic energy, potential energy, and thermal energy.
How many joule are in a kilowatt-hour?
There are 3600000 joule in 1 kilowatt-hour.
