Energy comes in different forms. Electrical energy can easily be measured in terms of volts and amps, these can be combined to give watts directly. Thermal energy can be measured by the rise in temperature of a fluid or gas being heated, plus the amount of the fluid passing per second. Or if it is being heated by natural gas, you have a gas meter to measure the quantity of gas being used per second or per hour if you like, and the heat content of the gas should be known.. For an internal combustion engine you measure the fuel flow rate, and know the heat content per liter of the fuel.

∙ 12y agoElectricity usage is measured in kilowatt/hours. To put this in perspective, a 1500 watt kettle that is on constantly for one hour would use 1.5 kilowatts. Multiply that by the cost per kilowatt hour will give you the operating cost of your appliance. On your electrical bill the rate per kilowatt hour should be stated. It could be in the range of .07 to .10 cents per kilowatt hour.

The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an?
The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an earthquake.
What unit is used too measure energy?
Energy of heat = Joules (J)
How the hell do you measure motion?
You can measure distance traveled, energy used or work done.
What is th SI unit used to measure energy?
joule
Joules could be used to measure what?
work and energy +++ The Joule (J) is the unit of energy, alone, not of work. The Watt (W) is the unit of power, i.e. work done in converting or transferring energy, and 1W = 1J/s.
What could joules be used to measure with?
Joules are used to measure energy. Also the related concept of work, which can be thought of as the transfer of energy.
What units of measure are used to measure nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is measured in mega electron volts.
What is used to measure of electrical energy?
All energy is measured in joules.
What tool is used to measure the energy?
Only math can calculate energy.
What are joules in an energy pyramid?
Joule is the unit used to measure energy.
What is used to measure energy from the sun?
Radiometer
What is the unit of measure used for energy?
The joule.
What is used to measure energy in foods?
the calorie
Unit of measure for the energy stored in foods?
Kilo joules are used to measure the amount of energy stored in food.
The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an?
The richter scale is used by scientists to measure the amount of energy release by an earthquake.
What measure of energy is used to measure energy in food?
Calories (1 dietary calorie, symbol Cal, is equivalent to 1000cal) are commonly used to measure energy in food. In some countries, joules are used instead. For scientific purposes, the joule (an SI unit) is preferred.
Kj is used to measure what kind of energy?
KJ is Kilojoule - 1000 Joule. Joule, or a multiple such as KJ or MJ, can be used to measure any kind of energy.
