100 Watts is 100 Joule/second. If you want the answer in Joule, you can base your calculations on that.
On the other hand, the electrical company will charge you by the kWh. In this case, it is more convenient to calculate as follows: 100W = 0.1 kW, that is the same as 0.1 kWh/hour.
NO. Two 60W lamps will use 120W - which is more than 100W !!
-- None at all if the lamp is switched off.-- If the lamp is switched on, then electrical energy is turned into a little bit ofvisible light energy and a comparatively larger quantity of heat energy.

Watts measure power. Energy is measured in joules and is the product of power and time. 1 joule = 1 watt for 1 sec Energy used in the example = 100 x 1 = 100 joules
Electrical energy is transformed into electromagnetic energy.
Electrical energy to sound energy with an alarm clock Electrical energy to light energy with a lamp

Turning on a lamp
A typical lamp would convert electrical energy into light energy. And lots of heat too.
Primarily electrical energy. some chemical, from the coating on the inner side of the lamp
A lamp doesn't produce electrical energy; it utilises it. The power-rating of the lamp will tell you the rate at which that lamp uses expends energy at its rated voltage. For example, a 60-W lamp will expend energy at 60 joules per second.
Many lamps use electrical energy, but some lamps use chemical energy, for example a kerosene lamp or a candle.
