Energy Converter — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 How many Joules are in one Kilowatt-hour (kWh)? ▾
There are exactly 3,600,000 Joules (3.6 Megajoules) in 1 kWh.
Q2 How many BTU are in 1 kWh of electricity? ▾
1 kWh equals approximately 3,412.14 British Thermal Units (BTU).
Q3 What is the difference between a small calorie (cal) and food calorie (kcal)? ▾
A thermochemical calorie (cal) is the energy needed to raise 1g of water by 1°C (4.184 J). A nutritional Food Calorie (Cal or kcal) equals 1,000 small calories (4,184 Joules).
