Kilowatt hour to Joules (KWh to J)

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 ร— 3,600,000

Where:

  • J = Joules
  • KWh = Kilowatt-hours

Example Calculation

If you have a battery rated at 2 KWh, the calculation would be:

J = 2 KWh ร— 3,600,000 = 7,200,000 J

What 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. Hereโ€™s a breakdown:

  • 1 KWh = 3,600,000 J
  • 0.5 KWh = 1,800,000 J
  • 3 KWh = 10,800,000 J

Kilowatt-hour (kWh) to Joule (J) Conversion Table

Formula: J = kWh * 3,600,000

Kilowatt-hour [kWh] Joule [J]
1 kWh 3,600,000 J
2 kWh 7,200,000 J
3 kWh 10,800,000 J
4 kWh 14,400,000 J
5 kWh 18,000,000 J
10 kWh 36,000,000 J
100 kWh 360,000,000 J
500 kWh 1,800,000,000 J
1000 kWh 3,600,000,000 J
