Convert Kilowatt-hour to Joule
Kilowatt-hour
The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure electricity consumption. It is equal to the energy consumed by a device with a power rating of one kilowatt operating for one hour. One kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 million joules.
The kilowatt-hour is derived from the watt-hour, which is a unit of energy named after James Watt, a Scottish engineer and inventor. The prefix 'kilo-' signifies a factor of one thousand, making the kilowatt-hour equal to one thousand watt-hours.
Joule
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, work, and heat, defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. It is mathematically expressed as 1 J = 1 N·m = 1 kg·m²/s², where N is newton, kg is kilogram, m is meter, and s is second. The joule is commonly used to measure energy in various forms, including mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy.
The joule is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist who is best known for his work on the relationship between heat and mechanical work. His experiments in the 19th century demonstrated that mechanical energy could be converted into heat, contributing to the formulation of the law of conservation of energy. His work laid the foundation for modern thermodynamics, highlighting that energy is conserved and can be transformed but not created or destroyed.
