Kilowatt-hour to Joule Conversion Formula

To convert from Kilowatt-hour (kWh) to Joule (J), use the following formula:

 Joule (J)\textbf{ Joule} \text{ (J)}

=60×60×1000× Kilowatt-hour (kWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 1000\times \textbf{ Kilowatt-hour} \text{ (kWh)}

=3600000× Kilowatt-hour (kWh)= 3600000\times \textbf{ Kilowatt-hour} \text{ (kWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Kilowatt-hour (kWh) to Joule (J).

Using the formula:

5×3600000=180000005 \times 3600000 = 18000000

Therefore, 5 Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to 1800000018000000 Joule (J).
