Discover the ease of converting energy units with our KJ to kWh tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter simplifies energy calculations, sparking interest to explore its utility further.
A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one thousand joules, the standard unit of energy. One kilojoule represents the amount of energy expended when a force of one kilonewton is applied over a one-meter distance. It is commonly used to quantify the energy content in food, as well as in various scientific and engineering applications to measure work, heat, or energy.
Definition of Kilowatt-hourA kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a derived unit of energy commonly used to measure electricity consumption. One kilowatt-hour represents the amount of energy delivered at a consistent rate of one kilowatt over the span of one hour. This unit is widely used by electric utilities to bill customers, as it reflects the total energy used by all electrical devices within a household or business over a specific period of time.
| Kilojoule (kJ) | Kilowatt-hour (kWh) |
|---|---|
| 1 kJ | 0.000277778 kWh |
| 10 kJ | 0.00277778 kWh |
| 100 kJ | 0.0277778 kWh |
| 500 kJ | 0.138889 kWh |
| 1000 kJ | 0.277778 kWh |
| 2500 kJ | 0.694444 kWh |
| 5000 kJ | 1.38889 kWh |
| 10000 kJ | 2.77778 kWh |
| 50000 kJ | 13.8889 kWh |
| 100000 kJ | 27.7778 kWh |
1 kJ = 0.000277778 kWh
1 kWh = 3600 kJ
Example 1:
convert 50 kJ to kWh:
50 kJ = 50 × 0.000277778 kWh = 0.0138889 kWh
Example 2:
convert 250 kJ to kWh:
250 kJ = 250 × 0.000277778 kWh = 0.0694444 kWh
A brief history of the Kilojoule to Kilowatt-hour Converter begins with the standardization of units. The kilojoule was established as a unit of energy as part of the metric system, and the kilowatt-hour emerged as a practical unit for billing electricity. The converter tool was created to bridge the gap between these units, facilitating a better understanding and comparison of energy in different forms.
Unlock the potential of energy conversion with our Kilojoule to Kilowatt-hour Converter, a tool that reflects the practicality of measuring energy in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To convert 200 kJ to kWh:
200 kJ = 200 × 0.000277778 kWh = 0.0555556 kWh
Example 2:
To convert 1500 kJ to kWh:
1500 kJ = 1500 × 0.000277778 kWh = 0.416667 kWh
