What are Hartree and Watt-hour

A Hartree, symbolized as E_h, is the unit of energy in the atomic unit system, named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree. It is defined as the kinetic energy of an electron moving in a circular orbit around a proton in a hydrogen atom, which is equivalent to the potential energy between the two particles. The value of a Hartree is approximately 4.359744650 x 10^-18 joules.

A Watt-hour, denoted as Wh, is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. This compound unit is commonly used in the context of electricity, particularly for measuring electrical energy consumption. One Watt-hour represents the amount of energy expended by a device that operates at one watt of power output for one hour, and it is a standard unit for billing electricity usage.

History of Hartree and Watt-hour

The concept of Hartree Energy originates from quantum mechanics and the atomic unit system. Converting it to Watt-hours bridges the gap between atomic physics and practical energy measurements, allowing scientists and engineers to relate microscopic energy scales with macroscopic energy consumption.
