What are Gigawatt-hour and Dyne-centimeter

Definition of Gigawatt-hour

A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy commonly used in the electrical industry to measure large-scale energy production and consumption. One GWh is equivalent to one billion watt-hours, signifying the amount of energy expended when one billion watts are used for one hour. It's a standard measurement for power plants and the energy sector, reflecting the immense scale of energy required for societal consumption.

Definition of Dyne-centimeter

A Dyne-centimeter (dyne·cm) is a unit of torque or rotational force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It represents the force of one dyne applied perpendicularly at the end of a one-centimeter lever arm. This microscopic unit is often used in physics and engineering fields to measure small-scale forces and moments of torsion applied in mechanical systems.

Conversion of Gigawatt-hour to Dyne-centimeter

1 GWh = 3.6 x 10^26 dyne·cm
1 dyne·cm = 2.7778 x 10^-27 GWh

Example 1:
convert 0.05 GWh to dyne·cm:
0.05 GWh = 0.05 × 3.6 x 10^26 dyne·cm = 1.8 x 10^25 dyne·cm

Example 2:
convert 2 GWh to dyne·cm:
2 GWh = 2 × 3.6 x 10^26 dyne·cm = 7.2 x 10^26 dyne·cm
