What are Watt-second and Kilocalorie

Definition of Watt-second

A watt-second (Ws) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to the work done by one watt acting for one second. This unit measures the rate of energy conversion or transfer. One watt-second is the energy expenditure of one watt of power for a one-second duration. It's a small unit of energy, commonly used in physics and engineering to describe amounts of electricity, especially in fields relating to electrical power.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. The kilocalorie is commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food, where it is often referred to simply as a 'calorie.' It is also used in various fields of science and engineering as a unit of energy transfer and transformation.
