5 kilowatt of electricity used in 2 hours is 5 x 2 = 10 kilowatt-hours

Additional AnswerA kilowatt hour (kW.h) is a unit of measurement for energy, and is used by electricity companies for the purpose of billing consumers for the energy they purchase. In science and engineering, it is more usual to measure energy in joules (J).
A kilowatt hour represents the energy used at the rate of one kilowatt over a period of one hour, where the kilowatt is a unit for power (rate of energy consumption or expenditure).
Kilowatthours was created in 1998.
That is impossible. That are different things.
kilowatthours
This would be 30 watthours, or 0.030 kilowatthours
energy = power * time = 20w * 1hr = 20 watthours or 0.02 kilowatthours
kWh stands for kiloWatthours, the amount of electrical energy an appliance uses or generates in one hour measured in kiloWatts. It has nothing to do with one cubic metre of water.
Kilo = 1000. Watts the produce of Amps x Volts. One hour is not divided up into kilowatt hours, it is the use of 1000 watts over a period of one hour.
Watts means the electric power and kilowatthours means electric energy. Compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy Cheers ebs
Electrical power is measured in Watts, or multiples of Watts, like kilowatts or megawatts. Electrical energy is power x time, usually kilowatthours or megawatthours.(kWh or MWh)
d. a kilowatthour meter. Electric energy used in homes is measured in kilowatthours, which is the unit for energy consumption. Kilowatthour meters measure the total amount of electricity consumed in a household over a period of time.
Electric companies make money primarily through the sale of electricity to consumers. They generate revenue by charging for the amount of electricity used, often measured in kilowatt-hours. Additionally, they may earn income from service fees, maintenance charges, and selling excess power to other utilities or grid operators.
Power and energy consumption are terms used to describe the amount of electrical energy used in a specific period of time. Power is the rate at which energy is consumed, typically measured in watts, while energy consumption is the total amount of energy used over a given time, measured in watt-hours or kilowatt-hours.
