Convert energy from Joules (J) to Watts (W)
How to Convert Joules to Watts
To convert Joules to Watts, you need to know the time (in seconds) over which the energy is used. The formula is based on the definition of a watt:
Formula
W = J / t
W = Power in watts
J = Energy in joules
t = Time in seconds
Quick Trick: 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second!
Example
Imagine you have an energy measurement:
- We measured: 1000 joules
- Time taken: 5 seconds
Here’s how we figure it out:
1️⃣ Take our formula: W = J / t
2️⃣ Put in 1000 joules and 5 seconds
3️⃣ W = 1000 / 5
🎉 Answer: 200 W
Watts (W)
Watts measure how much energy is used or produced over time:
- 1 watt is equal to 1 joule of energy used per second.
- Commonly used to describe the power of electrical devices.
Cool Fact!
Understanding watts helps in calculating energy consumption of appliances!
Joules (J)
A joule (J) is a standard unit of energy. Here’s what you need to know:
- Used to measure energy, work, or heat.
- 1 joule is the energy needed to move a force of 1 newton over 1 meter.
Mind Blown!
1 kilojoule (kJ) = 1,000 joules, which is a common measurement in food energy!
