"Joule" is an amount of energy. You can hold it in your hand or put it in a jar.

If your friend comes along and gives you another joule, then you have twice

as much energy as you had before.

"Watt" is the rate at which energy moves from place to place. If another friend

is coming along and giving you another joule of it every second, then your energy

is building up at the rate of one watt.

"Kilowatt" just means 1,000 watts . . . 1,000 joules every second.

So there are a huge number of ways you could collect 360,000 joules of energy.

Here are a few ways it could happen:

-- 1 watt for 360,000 seconds (100 hours)

-- 10 watts for 36,000 seconds (10 hours)

-- 100 watts for 3,600 seconds (1 hour)

-- 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 360 seconds (6 minutes)

-- 10 kilowatts for 36 seconds

In each case, you have 360,000 joules when the time is up.

How many joules in a mega joule?

This question has been answered in wikipedia:A joule is ...The work required to continuously produce one watt of power for one second; or one watt second (W·s) (compare kilowatt hour). This relationship can be used to define the watt.http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JouleThe kilowatt hour, or kilowatt-hour, (symbol kW·h, kWh) is a unit of energy equal to 3,600,000 joules. Energy in watt hours is the multiplication of power in watts and time in hours.http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour


How many joules of energy is consumed if the electrical meter shows 400 units of energy?

To determine the joules of energy consumed, you would need to know the conversion factor from the units displayed on the electrical meter to joules. This conversion factor varies depending on factors like the voltage and current of the electricity supply. Typically, 1 unit of energy is equivalent to approximately 3600 joules. So if the meter reads 400 units, the energy consumed would be around 1,440,000 joules (400 units * 3600 joules/unit).


What is the cost of geothermal energy per kilowatt?

The cost of geothermal energy per kilowatt varies depending on factors such as location, size of the project, and technology used. On average, the cost ranges from $0.04 to $0.10 per kilowatt-hour. This makes geothermal energy one of the most cost-effective renewable energy sources available.
