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.
Millijoule per Second [mJ/s]
Millijoule per second is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI).
Millijoule (mJ) equals 10−3 joules (0.001 joule).
When expressed as mJ/s, it measures the rate of energy transfer or work done at a scale of millijoules every second.
Since 1 joule per second = 1 watt, then:
1 mJ/s=0.001 watts
This unit is used to quantify very small power levels, often in scientific research and electronics where precise measurements of low energy flow are required.
