Converting from Quad (quad) to Watt second (W s) | Energy

What is Quad (quad)

Quad (quad) is a unit of energy that is commonly used in the field of energy production and consumption. It is equivalent to one quadrillion British thermal units (BTUs) or approximately 1.055 * 10^18 joules. The term "quad" is derived from the Latin word "quadrilion," which signifies a large quantity of energy. This unit helps to measure the total energy produced or consumed on a national scale, making it a crucial metric for energy analysts and policymakers.

What is Watt second (W s)

Watt second (W s) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of energy transferred when one watt of power is applied for one second. It is equivalent to one joule (J). The watt is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one joule per second. This makes the watt second an essential unit for calculating energy in contexts such as electrical applications, where energy consumption over time matters.
