You should think of "watt" as a rate or speed ... it's the speed of using energy, but instead of
speed, it's called "power".
1 watt means that 1 joule of energy is being used every second.
1 watt-second means the amount of energy used in one second, when it's used at the rate of 1 watt.
In the last paragraph, we just said that this is 1 joule of energy.
"Kilowatt" is also a rate at which energy is used. It's 1,000 joules per second, or 1,000 watts.
Killo = 1000. There are 1000 watts in 1 kw.
1 watt = 1 joule per second 1 kilowatt = 1 kilojoule per second 750 kilowatt = 750 kilojoule per second
There are 1000 watts in a kilowatt. The prefix "kilo" in front of the unit watt means one thousand.
Yes. "Kilo" is a prefix that means "a factor of thousand", and "watt" is the SI unit of power (rate of energy transfer). 1 watt = 1 joule/second.
1 kilowatt = 1000 watt ==> 1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt
1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts1 watt = 1 joule per second1 hour = 3,600 seconds(1,500 kilowatt-hour) x (1,000 watt / kilowatt) x (1 joule / watt-second) x (3,600 second / hour) =(1,500 x 1,000 x 3,600) x (kilowatt - hour - watt - joule- second) / (kilowatt - watt - second - hour)= 5,400,000,000 joules
Killo = 1000. There are 1000 watts in 1 kw.
Watt means joule/second, kW (kilowatt) means kilojoule/second, i.e., thousands of joules per second.
1 watt = 1 joule per second 1 kilowatt = 1 kilojoule per second 750 kilowatt = 750 kilojoule per second
There are 1000 watts in a kilowatt. The prefix "kilo" in front of the unit watt means one thousand.
A joule is a watt-second, so one kilowatt for one second is a kilojoule.
-- watt -- kilowatt -- joule per second -- horsepower
Yes. "Kilo" is a prefix that means "a factor of thousand", and "watt" is the SI unit of power (rate of energy transfer). 1 watt = 1 joule/second.
1kilowatt = 1000 watts but you cannot compare a kilowatt hour to a watt, the extra dimension of time changes what is being measured. The watt is a measure of power. The watt second and the kilowatt hour is energy. The misunderstanding comes from our use of the term POWER COMPANY for our electricity suppliers. They bill us in kilowatt hours which is energy, not power.
1 kilowatt = 1000 watt ==> 1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt
Watt, kilowatt, or megawatt are units of power (energy/time). A watt is 1 joule/second. A kilowatt is a thousand joules per second. A kilowatt is also 1 kWh/hour (kilowatt-hour / hour). Since you would usually pay per kilowatt-hour, you might be more interested in the number of kilowatt-hours. A megawatt is a million joules per second - or a thousand kWh/hour.
A kilowatt is 1000 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule per second
