Kilowatt Hours to Megajoules (kWh to MJ)

Kilowatt-Hours to Megajoules Calculator

Kilowatt-Hours (KWh) to Megajoules (MJ) Conversion

To convert Kilowatt-hours (kWh) to Megajoules (MJ), use the formula:

Conversion Formula

MJ = KWh ร— 3.6

Alternatively, you can express it as:

E(MJ) = 3.6 ร— E(KWh)

Where:

  • MJ = Megajoules
  • KWh = Kilowatt-hours

Example

If you have an energy amount of 5 KWh, the calculation would be:

MJ = 5 KWh ร— 3.6 = 18 MJ

Using the alternative formula:

E(MJ) = 3.6 ร— 5 KWh = 18 MJ

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 Megajoule (MJ)?

A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to one million joules. It is commonly used in various fields, including physics and engineering, to quantify energy, work, or heat.
