Conversion Method and Formula
To convert kilojoules (kJ) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), use the following formula:
kWh = kJ ÷ 3,600
This conversion is based on the relationship between joules and watt-hours. One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3,600 kilojoules.
Understanding the Units
Kilojoule (kJ): A unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules.
Kilowatt-hour (kWh): A unit of energy commonly used for electrical energy consumption. It represents the amount of energy consumed by a 1,000-watt device running for one hour.
Practical Applications
This conversion is useful in various fields, including:
- Energy consumption calculations
- Electrical engineering
- Physics and thermodynamics
- Home energy management
Remember that while kilojoules are the SI unit for energy, kilowatt-hours are more commonly used in everyday scenarios, especially for electricity billing and appliance energy ratings.
