What are Megawatt-hour and Attojoule

Definition of Megawatt-hour

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy commonly used in electricity generation and consumption. It represents the amount of power, in megawatts, being used over the period of one hour. One MWh is equivalent to one million watts of power used continuously for one hour, and it's a standard measure for large-scale energy production and consumption.

Definition of Attojoule

An Attojoule (aJ) is an incredibly small unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 10^-18 joules. It's used to measure minuscule amounts of energy, often in the field of particle physics and quantum mechanics to quantify the energy levels of particles or photons in experiments or theoretical models.

Conversion of Megawatt-hour to Attojoule

Example 1:
Convert 0.01 MWh to aJ:
0.01 MWh = 0.01 × 3.6e+30 aJ = 3.6e+28 aJ

Example 2:
Convert 0.1 MWh to aJ:
0.1 MWh = 0.1 × 3.6e+30 aJ = 3.6e+29 aJ
