What is the Formula to convert Watt-hour to Joules?

The formula to convert given energy from Watt-hour to Joules is:

Energy(Joules) = Energy(Watt-hour) × 3.6e3

Substitute the given value of energy in watt-hour, i.e., Energy(Watt-hour) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the energy in joules, i.e., Energy(Joules).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that we have a light bulb that consumes 300 watt-hours (Wh) of energy over the 5 hours it was on.
Convert this energy consumption from watt-hours to Joules.

Answer:

Given:

The energy in watt-hour is:

Energy(Watt-hour) = 300

Formula:

The formula to convert energy from watt-hour to joules is:

Energy(Joules) = Energy(Watt-hour) × 3.6e3

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Energy(Watt-hour) = 300 in the above formula.

Energy(Joules) = 300 × 3.6e3

Energy(Joules) = 1080000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 300 Wh is equal to 1080000 J.

The energy is 1080000 J, in joules.

2

Consider that a rechargeable battery stores 500 watt-hours (Wh) of energy.
Convert this stored energy from watt-hours to Joules.

Answer:

Given:

The energy in watt-hour is:

Energy(Watt-hour) = 500

Formula:

The formula to convert energy from watt-hour to joules is:

Energy(Joules) = Energy(Watt-hour) × 3.6e3

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Energy(Watt-hour) = 500 in the above formula.

Energy(Joules) = 500 × 3.6e3

Energy(Joules) = 1800000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 500 Wh is equal to 1800000 J.

The energy is 1800000 J, in joules.

Watt-hour

A Watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of electrical energy consumed or generated over time. One Watt-hour is equivalent to one watt of power used or produced for one hour. This unit is commonly used to quantify energy usage in households, industries, and various devices. For instance, a 100-watt light bulb running for 10 hours consumes 1000 watt-hours, or 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh). Watt-hours are essential for understanding energy consumption, billing in electric utilities, and managing energy efficiency.

Joules

The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. One joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. It can also be defined as the energy transferred when one watt of power is applied for one second. The joule is a versatile unit used in various scientific and engineering contexts to measure energy, work, and heat. It is commonly used in physics, chemistry, and engineering to quantify the energy content of fuels, the work done by machines, and the energy used or produced in electrical circuits.
