Kilowatt-Hours to Joules Converter
Kilowatt-Hours to Joules Conversion
To convert Kilowatt-hours (kWh) to Joules (J), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
J = KWh × 3,600,000Where:
- J = Joules
- KWh = Kilowatt-hours
Example Calculation
If you have a battery rated at 2 KWh, the calculation would be:
J = 2 KWh × 3,600,000 = 7,200,000 JWhat is a Kilowatt-hour (KWh)?
A kilowatt-hour (KWh) is a unit of energy that measures how much electricity is used over time. It represents the energy consumed when one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power is used for one hour.
What is a Joule (J)?
A joule (J) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6 million joules.
The Simple Math Behind the Conversion
To convert kilowatt-hours to joules, you multiply the kilowatt-hours by 3,600,000, since there are 3,600,000 joules in one kilowatt-hour. Here’s a breakdown:
- 1 KWh = 3,600,000 J
- 0.5 KWh = 1,800,000 J
- 3 KWh = 10,800,000 J
