James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) was the son of a well to do British brewer. He was homeschooled for health reasons. The family was wealthy and one of his tutors was John Dalton, a pioneer in atomic theory. He and his brother experimented with electricity during their childhoods and took over the running of the brewery in their mid-teens. During the years he was running the brewery, he experimented with different sources of power to run the brewery. As an adult he was a physicist and brewer, famous for atomic theory, studies on color blindness and the development of the measurement of energy, in units called Joules, in collaboration with Lord Kelvin.

What is the energy used in one second when a bulb have 40Watts.?

The energy used by a 40W bulb in one second is 40 Joules. This is because power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, so if the bulb consumes 40W of power in one second, it uses 40 Joules of energy in that time period.

How many joules are in kilojoule?

Whether you put it in front of joule, or any other unit, in physics, "kilo" means 1000. In computer science, "kilo" is sometimes rounded to 1024 (as in "kilobyte"), but in physics, kilo always means 1000.
