The joule is the SI unit of measurement for energyor work, whereas the watt is the SI unit of measurement for power.

Work is defined as the process of converting one form of energy into another, e.g. work is done when an electric motor converts electrical energy into kinetic energy.

Power is defined as the rate of doing work, so a watt is equivalent to a joule per second.

1 kWh = 1kw * 1hour = 1000W * 3600 s

= 3600000 joules

1 kWh = 3.6*10^6 joules
