Kilowatt-Hours (KWh) to Megajoules (MJ) Conversion
To convert Kilowatt-hours (kWh) to Megajoules (MJ), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
MJ = KWh ร 3.6Alternatively, 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 MJUsing the alternative formula:
E(MJ) = 3.6 ร 5 KWh = 18 MJWhat 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.
