What are Watt-second and Calorie

Definition of Watt-second

A watt-second (Ws) is a unit of energy equivalent to the amount of work done by a power of one watt operating for one second. This metric unit represents a small quantity of energy that is commonly used in physics and engineering to measure work, or the energy transfer rate.

Definition of Calorie

A calorie, specifically a nutrition calorie or kilocalorie (kcal), is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify the energy content of food. One nutritional calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
