in electronics, there is a term of Watt Hours used in power bills and things. watts itself is a unit derived by 1 joule per second. in order to get watt hours (which is just 1 joule per hour) you multiply your watts (joule/second) by 360 (60 seconds in a minute multiplied by 60 minutes in an hour). that will then give you units of joules/hour

None, the watts come form the electricity supply and the lamp uses them at a rate of 100 an hour when it is turned on.


How many watts does a microwave consume in an hour?

Watts are units for measuring the rate of energy consumption. So it is meaningless to speak of how many watts something consumes in a length of time. (It would be like asking how many miles per hour a car drives in an hour.)Energy consumption may be measured in kilowatt-hours. A typical microwave consumes 1500 watts, which would be 1.5 kilowatt-hours in one hour.

Meter3/hour would be a flow rate, or rate of change of volume with time.I can't think of anything abbreviated 'W' that would correspond to that unit.Certainly not 'Watts'.


How many kliowatt hours does a 120 watt fixture use in 1 hour?

One kilowatt hour (kWH) is the amount of power used at the rate of 1000 watts for one hour. Therefore a device of 120 watts running for one hour would consume 120 / 1000 x 1 = 0.12 kWH

How many kilowatt hours - KWh - are used to light a 30 watt light bulb for 1 hour?

A kilowatt is 1,000 Watts. 30 Watts is equal to 0.03 kilowatts. A kWh or kilowatt-hour is the rate of electrical usage. It is a measure of kilowatts used per period of time (1 hour). 1 kWh is 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 1 hour. So, multiply your 30 watts (0.03 kilowatts) by 1 hour to get kWh. =0.03 kWh In about 33 hours and 20 minutes, this lamp would use 1 kWh.


How long is a watt hour?

A watt hour is a unit of energy, not time -so you cannot ask how 'long' it is. The time taken to consume a watt hour of energy depends upon the rate (i.e. the power) at which it is consumed, expressed in watts. A watt hour is defined as the amount of energy consumed, over a period of one hour, at the rate of one watt.


What does a kilowatt-hour measure?

It is a unit of energy. If energy is transferred at a rate (power) of one kilowatt, during one hour, then one kilowatt-hour (kilowatt times hour) of energy will be transferred. Since a joule is equal to a watt-second, a kilowatt-hour is the same as 3.6 million joules.
