there is 3412 btu's to 1 kilowatt
Units of electricity as given on power bills are usually measured in kiloWatt hours. (kW.h) This is a kiloWatt of energy delivered for a period of an hour. It is a unit of power, and a kiloWatt is a measure of energy.
First let us convert the power of the bulb into kilowatts.A kilowatt is 1000 watts. We have one tenth of that. So 100W = 0.1kWTo work out the kilowatt hours we simply multiply the power in kilowatts by the time the bulb is on for (in hours):0.1kW x 10h = 1 kWha 100 watt bulb uses 100 watts of power. In ten hours it uses 100x10 watt-hours, or 1 kilowatt-hour. A kilowatt-hour is also called a unit, and units are what you pay for.
One horse power is 0.746 kilowatt.
They are both measures of power, i.e. the rate of doing work. One HP is defined as 746 watts, so 1 kilowatt is 1.3405 HP.
A kilowatt by definition is the equivalent of "1,000 watts for one hour". It is the way the electric company measures power usage. One "half kilowatt": Imagine you have five 100W light bulbs burning in various places in your house. After one hour, you have used one-half kilowatt of electricity.
1000
There are 1000 milliwatts in a watt. There are 1000 watts in a kilowatt. Therefore, there are 1 million milliwatts in one kilowatt.
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.
The same as it can generate in a day, or in a year, or in a second. Kilowatt is a unit of power, not a unit of energy.
1 kilowatt means a continuous power flow of 1000 watts, and in one hour the energy expended is 1 kilowatt-hour, also known as 1 kWh or Unit.
The watt (or kilowatt) is a unit of power (energy/time). Kilowatt per unit area, for example, kilowatt per square meter, doesn't have a special unit name, but the thing measured is called intensity.
