Kilowatt (kW)

The kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 1,000 watts:

Kilowatts are widely used to measure the power consumption or output of household appliances, small engines, and electric tools. For example, a typical microwave oven might use about 1 kW of power.

In electricity billing, power usage is often measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which reflects energy consumption over time.

The kilowatt is a practical unit for everyday energy use, bridging the scale from watts (for small devices) to megawatts (for larger power generation). It helps people understand and compare the power ratings of common electrical equipment.

Centijoule per Second [cJ/s]

Centijoule per second is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  Centijoule (cJ) equals $10^{-2}$ joules (0.01 joule).

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as cJ/s, it measures the rate of energy transfer or work done at a scale of centijoules every second.

  
  
• 
  

  Since 1 joule per second = 1 watt, then:

  
  

This unit is used to quantify very low power outputs, such as in precise scientific measurements or small electronic components.
