In science, electrical energy is measured in joules.
However, another unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt.hour (kW.h), is the amount of energy that is used by a load of exactly one kilowatt running for exactly one hour.
The kW.h unit is used to measure the total amount of energy used in a building (a home, an office, a factory, etc.) over a particular period of time, usually one month or three months.
The owner of the building must pay for any energy used, so the power utility company sends a bill to charge the owner for the total number of kW.h units used within the last month or three months.
Several different units are used to measure electricity:
Electric charge is measured in coulombs (C)
Electric current is measured in amperes (A), amps for short
Electric potential difference (voltage) is measured in volts (V)
Electric power is measured in watts (W)
Electrical energy used is measured in kilowatt.hours (kW.H)
The units most pertinent to consumers are probably kilowatt.hours, voltage and wattage.

What si units measures electrical energy?
In SI, the same unit is used for any type of energy: the joule.
What is the definition of electricity bill?
It is the amount in Rs. or Roller which is paid for how much unit of electrical energy consumed. the unit of electrical energy is KW h (kilowatt hour).
How can you convert kwh to kg?
The amount of electrical energy is measured in kilowatt hours. Kg unit of mass and weight. These two are not comparable.
What is the unit of measure for electrical pressure forcing electrical energy through the conductor?
Voltage is the energy it takes to move one particle from Point A to Point B, though a conductor.
What is the definition of unit in electric energy?
The unit of electrical energy is the same as the unit for any other type of energy. The international unit for energy is the joule.
What is the unit of electrical energy in MKS system?
Any energy - electrical or otherwise - is measured in Joule.
Unit of electrical energy used at home?
The unit of measurement for electrical energy used in the home is the kilowatt hour, and this is the unit which the electricity supply company uses to work out your bill.
What is the unit of measure when converting electrical energy to kinetic?
The joule is the unit associated with kinetic energy
Is a watt a unit of power or a unit of electrical energy?
Watt is a unit of power. 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second; joule is the unit for energy.
What is a unit to measure the amount of electrical energy?
a watt
The SI unit of electrical mechanical and thermal energy?
Joule
A kilowatt-hour is a unit that measures?
Quantity of electrical energy.
What is electric and is the rate at which electrical energy does work?
Power; its SI unit is watt. Please note that this is notspecifically an electrical unit; "power", and the unit "watt", is the rate of energy conversion, and can be used anywhere where energy is converted - whether "work" is involved, or some other (non-mechanical) energy.
What is the largest unit of energy out off JergcaleVL-ATM?
The largest Unit of Energy is ELECTRICAL MOVEMENT of every things that happen in earth
State the units of measurement for mechanical energy and electrical power?
The official unit for any type of energy (not just mechanical energy) is the joule. The official unit for any power (not just electrical power) is the watt, equal to joules / second.
Electrical energy can be measured in units called what not watt?
All forms of energy are measured using the same units. The SI unit for energy is the joule (J). However, the unit used by electrical utility companies is the kilowatt hour (kW.h).
