How to Convert Kilowatts (kW) to Joules (J)

To convert kilowatts (kW) to joules (J), you need to include time because energy (J) is power (kW) multiplied by time (s).

Joules (J) = kilowatts (kW) × 1000 × time in seconds (s)

The energy E in joules (J) is equal to the power P in kilowatts (kW) multiplied by the time t in seconds (s):

E(J) = P(kW) × t(s)

Since 1 kW = 1000 W, the formula can also be expressed as:

E(J) = (P(kW) × 1000) × t(s)

If you have a power measurement of 2 kW and you run it for 5 seconds, the calculation would be:

E(J) = (2 kW × 1000) × 5 s = 10000 J

Kilowatts (kW) represent the rate of energy transfer or conversion, indicating how much energy is used per unit of time.

Time (seconds) is the duration for which the power is applied, crucial for determining total energy consumed.

Joules (J) represent the total energy consumed or produced, calculated as the product of power and time.

Formula: J = kW × Time (in seconds) × 1000
