What are Kilowatt-second and Hartree

A Kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy equivalent to the work done by a power of one kilowatt acting for one second. It represents a substantial amount of energy in a compact timeframe, commonly used in various fields of physics and engineering to calculate energy consumption or production over short intervals.

The Hartree energy unit, denoted as E_h, is a natural unit of energy used in atomic physics, particularly in quantum chemistry. It is defined as the kinetic energy of an electron orbiting the nucleus in the lowest energy level of the hydrogen atom. This unit is integral to the field of quantum mechanics for scaling and comparing atomic interactions.

History of Kilowatt-second and Hartree

A brief history of the Kilowatt-second to Hartree Energy Converter traces back to the development of quantum mechanics. Scientists needed a way to relate macroscopic energy units like the kilowatt-second to quantum energy scales, leading to the adoption of the Hartree as a standard unit of quantum energy.
