1 unit = 1 KW X 1 Hour
so it means that unit of current can be converted into kWh by multiplying it by the watt and t time taken (in hours).
The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.
Electricity Meter. I've never heard that term. The other terms are also foreign to me and I have been using measuring equipment for over 40 years. I have never seen a meter that will actually show kWh. An electrical USE meter (like what is on your home) shows kWh used. More explanation in the question would help.
The hydroelectric production of South America, as of 2006, is 618.80 billion KWH.
18 cubic foot refrigerator (bottom-freezer) purchased in June 1998; failed in December 2007 (lasted 9.5 years); energy use is 699 kWh per year. New 18 cubic foot refrigerator (bottom-freezer) energy use is 476 kWh per year. Buy a new one to save energy.
This is a difficult question to answer because of all of the variables in so many different homes. The size of the home is one of the variables. The type of heating is another variable, whether it is electric or gas. How the hot water is heated in the home electric or gas. For example, I have a 3200 sq foot home and I use 1600 kWh every two months.
good question A KWH is 1000 watts of power used for one hour. A 100 watt bulb would need to be on for 10 hours to use 1 KWH.
1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.
The two sets of units are not compatible. While a gallon may be converted to a litre, there is no relationship between kWh and hour.
The amount of CO2 generated from electricity (kWh) is dependant upon the way the electricity is generated. Burning a barrel of oil to produce electricity yields far more CO2 than generating the same amount of electricity from wind or water. One should contact their electricity provider to get a break-down of how the electricity is generated.
Multiply the kWh value by 1000 (1000kWh = 1mWh) So For example 1 kWh = £0.067 so 1mWh= £0.067 x 1000 = £67.00 If I am wrong then I will resign from my Power Station
"Yes, it can. But some units will not convert to others such as KWH into horsepower, as they deal with slightly different things. KWH is energy and horsepower is power, so that won't work"
The cost of electricity in Minneapolis is about 6.5 cents per KWH.

It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.
1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.
