What are Calorie and Watt-hour

Definition of Calorie

A Calorie (th), often denoted as 'cal', is a unit of energy. Specifically, it represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure. This thermal calorie is commonly used in food energy content measurements and should not be confused with the kilocalorie, or Calorie (with an uppercase C), which is frequently used in nutritional contexts.

Definition of Watt-hour

A Watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. Essentially, a Watt-hour quantifies the amount of work done or energy transferred when a one-watt device runs for an hour. It's a standard unit of energy used by electric companies for billing purposes, and it's instrumental in measuring electrical energy usage for household and industrial appliances.
