Watt-Hours to Joules Converter
Watt-Hours to Joules Conversion
To convert Watt-hours (Wh) to Joules (J), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
The relationship between watt-hours and joules can be expressed as:
J = Wh × 3600Where:
- J = Joules
- Wh = Watt-hours
Example Calculation
If you have a battery rated at 10 Wh, the calculation would be:
J = 10 Wh × 3600 = 36000 JWhat is a Watt-hour (Wh)?
A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of work done or energy consumed over time. It represents the energy used when one watt of power is consumed 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 watt-hour is equal to 3600 joules.
The Simple Math Behind the Conversion
To convert watt-hours to joules, you multiply the watt-hours by 3600, since there are 3600 seconds in an hour. Here’s a breakdown:
- 1 Wh = 3600 J
- 5 Wh = 18000 J
- 2 Wh = 7200 J
