What is watt-hours?

A watt-hour is a unit of energy and its units, Wh, are formed with W for watt and h for hour from SI unit system. Its definition, in the context of electricity, is the energy of one watt power flowing for one hour.

What is Joules?

Joules measures energy. It is part of SI units system. Symbol for inches is JJ.

A Joule is commonly defined as amount of work done when a force of 1 newton displaces a mass through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force applied.

1 J=1 kgm2/s2=1 Nm1\ J = 1\ kg*m^2/s^{2} = 1\ N*m

1 J=1 Pam3=1 Ws=1 CV1\ J = 1\ Pa*m^3 = 1\ W*s = 1\ C*V

Where JJ - joule
kgkg - kilogram
mm - metre
ss - second
NN - newton
PaPa - pascal
WW - watt
CC - coulomb
VV - volt
