Electricity is measured in Watts and kilowatts Electricity is measured in units of power called Watts, named to honor James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. A Watt is the unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under the pressure of one volt. One Watt is a small amount of power.

The Kilowatt-Hour A kilowatt-hour measures the energy an appliance uses in kilowatts per hour. For example, if you clean your floors with a 1,000-watt vacuum cleaner for one hour, you consume 1 kWh of energy. Your kilowatt-hour consumption factors in how many watts your appliances use and how often you use them.

1 kWh (kilo watt hour) and 1 Unit are same. 1 kWh is the amount of energy consumption by 1 kW load in one hour. Therefore, 1 Unit = 1 kWh. Therefore, 1 Unit Electricity is equal to 3.6×106 Joule of electrical energy consumption.

A unit is any measurement that there is 1 of. So 1 meter is a unit. And 1 second is also a unit. And 1 m/s (one meter per second) is also a unit, because there is one of it.

1,000 Volts

105 watts

Watts = Amps x Volts 10 Amps x 120 Volts = 1200 Watts.

Equivalent Volts and Watts Measurements

1000 volts

Direct current (DC): V = [9 W] / [0.75 A] = 12 volts.

4.2 watts

Hz stands for hertzs and W*s stands for watt-seconds. The formula used in hertzs to watt-seconds conversion is 1 Hertz = 6.62606957030801E-34 Watt-Second. In other words, 1 hertz is 1.509190311676E+33 times smaller than a watt-second.

60 Hz

The 60 HZ number means that the current alternates at a rate of 60 times per second. Using the information on the microwave label, the wattage is equal to Voltage x Current = Wattage.
