How to Convert Watt-hour to JouleJoule

1 Wh = 3600 J
1 J = 0.0002777777777777778 Wh

Example: convert 16 Wh to J:
16 Wh = 16 x 3600 = 57600 J

Watt-hour

Definition: A watt-hour (symbol Wh) is a unit of energy equal to one watt of power sustained for one hour. It is commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption.

History/origin: The watt-hour is derived from the watt, the SI unit of power, and the hour, a unit of time. It was developed alongside the increasing use of electricity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Current use: Watt-hours are commonly used to measure the energy capacity of batteries, the energy consumption of household appliances, and the amount of electricity generated or consumed by power plants and consumers.

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.
