Kilowatt (kW)

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

1 \text{ kW} = 1,000 \text{ 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.

Petawatt (PW)

The petawatt (symbol: PW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) representing $10^{15}$ watts:

1 \text{ PW} = 10^{15} \text{ W}

A petawatt is an extremely large power measurement, commonly used in fields like high-energy physics and laser technology. For example, some of the world’s most powerful lasers operate at petawatt power levels, delivering intense bursts of energy in very short time frames.

To give some context, the average power consumption of the entire world is measured in terawatts (TW, $10^{12}$ W), so a petawatt is 1,000 times greater than a terawatt.

Because of its massive scale, the petawatt unit is mostly applied in scientific research and advanced technology, rather than everyday electrical or mechanical systems.
