100 watts × 10 hours = 1000 watt hours = 1 kilowatt hour (= 1 kwh) = 1 unit of electricity.
It will be 1 kilowatt.
The 12 v light should have the voltage and the power in watts printed on it. When it is running, it uses that amount of watts continuously. The energy is measured by the watt-hours, in other words the watts multiplied by the number of hours it runs for. 1000 watt hours makes 1 kilowatt-hour, which is a Unit on the electricity bill.
on average how many kilowatts does a house use per day in electricity / gasAnswerA kilowatt is a unit of power, which is the rate at which you consume energy. The amount of energy consumed is expressed in kilowatt hours. So your question should read: "How many kilowatt hours of energy does the average home consume over the period of an hour?" As expressed, your question is meaningless, because you do not 'use' kilowatts.The answer is difficult, because it depends on the size of your house, the number of occupants, where you live (cold vs hot climate), the type of appliances you use -e.g. air conditioning, central heating, etc. If you think that your home is typical, check out your electricity bill -it will tell you have many kilowatt hours you've consumed over the billing period. It's then a case of simple mathematics to determine how many kilowatt hours you consumed over one hour.
1000 watts = 1 KW, so: 820 watts = 0.82 KW 0.82 KW * 24 hours = 19.68 KWH
well it is measuring the amount of electricity energy used
kWh and watts are two totally different units, so there is no way to convert one to the other. kWh, or kilowatt hours is a measure of energy, watts are a unit of power. You can convert watts to kW by dividing by 1000, so 1760 watts is equal to 1.76kW, but to get total power in kWh, you would need to then multiple your kW by the amount of hours in use.

There's really no telling. Watts is an instantaneous measurement, not a sustained value. You could make 1000 watts for a fraction of a second using only the tiniest amount of fuel. Or you could churn out 1000 wats for hours and hours, using Diesel by the gallons.
Need to know the voltage. Quantity of electricity is expressed in Watts. Watts = amp x volts. Total quantity is expressed in watt/hours.
Power in electricity is the rate at which electrical energy(E) is produced or consumed in a given time(t). Is measured in watts(W).

1.37 KW == 1,370 watts , and by the way; if you had consumed this over 10 hours you could say that; 1,370 w x 10 hours == 13700 watt- hours or, 13.7 kilo watt - hours by measure.
Consumers do not normally have 'power meters'; they normally have 'energy meters', which are used measure the amount of energy being purchased from the electricity supply company. 'Power meters' are wattmeters, which measure power -i.e. the rate at which you use energy. Energy meters measure energy in units called kilowatt hours, whereas wattmeters measure power in watts. Your electricity supply company isn't really interested in the power of your residence, only the energy consumed.
A lamp post produces exactly zero watts, just like my computer produces zero watts. It is a user of electricity, not a producer. The amount of electricity used will depend on the bulb that is used in the lamp post.
1000 watts = 1 KW, so: 820 watts = 0.82 KW 0.82 KW * 24 hours = 19.68 KWH

The amount of energy used can be calculated by multiplying power x time: energy = power x time Since you normally pay the electricity used by the kilowatt-hour, it makes sense to convert the power rating to kilowatts. If it is specified in watts, divide that by 1000 to convert to kilowatts. Then multiply by the number of hours of use. For example: for a device that uses 100 watts, and which you turn on for 5 hours, your calculation would be: 0.1 kilowatt x 5 hours = 0.5 kilowatt-hours On some devices, watts are not specified. In that case, multiplying volts x amperes is usually close to the number of watts used.
Amps times volts = watts Watts measures the rate of power usage. watts times hours = watt hours Watt hours is a measure of the amount of power used.
