What are Kilowatt-second and Watt-hour

Definition of Kilowatt-second

A kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy equivalent to the power of one kilowatt operating for one second. It is a derived unit that represents the amount of work done or energy expended through the use of one kilowatt of power for a duration of one second. This unit is commonly used in various applications to measure bursts of energy usage in electrical systems.

Definition of Watt-hour

A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. It signifies the total amount of energy used over a period of time and is a standard unit of measure for electrical energy consumption, used by electricity providers to bill customers. This unit provides a convenient way to track and manage energy usage over time.
