Kilowatt (kW)
The kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 1,000 watts:
1 kW=1,000 W
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.
Kilojoule per Second [kJ/s]
Kilojoule per second is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI).
Kilojoule (kJ) equals 103 joules, representing a moderate amount of energy.
When expressed as kJ/s, it measures the rate of energy transfer or work done at a scale of kilojoules every second.
Since 1 joule per second = 1 watt, then:
1 kJ/s=103 watts=1 kilowatt (kW)
This unit is commonly used to express power in electrical devices, engines, and small-scale industrial equipment.
