How to Convert Joule to Kilowatt-hourKilowatt-hour

1 J = 2.7777777777777776e-7 kWh
1 kWh = 3600000 J

Example: convert 42 J to kWh:
42 J = 42 x 2.7777777777777776e-7 = 0.000011666666666666666 kWh

Joule

Definition: The joule (symbol: J) is the SI derived unit of energy. It is defined as the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m).

History/origin: Named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist. Joule experimentally determined the mechanical equivalent of heat.

Current use: Used universally in science and engineering to quantify energy, work, and heat. Examples include kinetic energy, potential energy, and heat content of materials.

Kilowatt-hour

Definition: A kilowatt-hour (symbol kWh) is a unit of energy equal to one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power sustained for one hour. It is a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption.

History/origin: The kilowatt-hour became widely adopted with the expansion of electrical grids and the need for a practical unit to measure household and industrial energy usage.

Current use: Kilowatt-hours are the standard unit used by utility companies to bill consumers for electricity usage. It's also used to specify the energy output of power plants and the energy consumption of large appliances.
