What are Kilocalorie and Attowatt

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of nutrition and exercise to quantify the amount of energy food provides or the body expends. It is equivalent to 1,000 calories, where one calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Kilocalories are crucial in assessing dietary intake, managing weight, and understanding metabolic processes. By converting kilocalories into other energy units, such as joules or watts, one can better comprehend energy efficiency and consumption across different contexts.

Definition of Attowatt

An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), representing one quintillionth (10^-18) of a watt. It describes incredibly small levels of power, often applied in scientific research and nanotechnology. Due to its minuscule scale, the attowatt is particularly useful in contexts requiring precise measurements of power at the atomic or molecular level. By converting other energy units, such as kilocalories per hour, into attowatts, researchers can gain a more detailed understanding of minute energy exchanges, aiding in advancements in fields like quantum physics and energy-efficient microdevices.

Conversion of Kilocalorie to Attowatt

1 kcal/h = 1163000000000000000 aW
1 aW = 0.000000000000000001 kcal/h

Example 1:
convert 5 kcal/h to aW:
5 kcal/h = 5 × 1163000000000000000 aW = 5815000000000000000 aW

Example 2:
convert 3.5 kcal/h to aW:
3.5 kcal/h = 3.5 × 1163000000000000000 aW = 4070500000000000000 aW
