Converting from Kilowatt hour (kW h) to Joule (J) | Energy

What is Kilowatt hour (kW h)

Kilowatt hour (kW h) is a unit of energy commonly used in electricity billing. It represents the amount of energy consumed by a 1 kilowatt electrical appliance running for one hour.

What is Joule (J)

Joule (J) is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one meter.
