Converting from Calorie (cal) to Watt second (W s) | Energy

What is Calorie (cal)

A calorie (cal) in the context of energy is a unit of heat measurement. It is commonly used in the field of nutrition to quantify the energy content of food. One calorie is equivalent to the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

What is Watt second (W s)

A watt second (W s) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the energy consumed or produced in one second at a power level of one watt. This unit helps measure the amount of energy transferred or converted over a period of time.
