What are Kilowatt-second and Calorie

Definition of Kilowatt-second

A kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power expended for one second. This unit is typically used to measure electrical energy in engineering and scientific contexts, allowing for a straightforward assessment of power consumption or generation over short intervals.

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy that quantifies the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Nutritional calories, often noted as Calories with a capital 'C', are actually kilocalories (kcal), and are used to indicate the energy content in food.
