Kilojoule to Watt-Second Converter
1,000
Formula: Watt-seconds = Kilojoules × 1,000
Understanding Energy Conversion
What is a Kilojoule (kJ)?
A kilojoule is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. It's commonly used to measure food energy, heat, and mechanical work. One kilojoule represents the energy required to move an object with a force of one newton over a distance of one kilometer.
What is a Watt-Second (Ws)?
A watt-second, also known as a joule, is the SI unit of energy. It represents the energy expended when one watt of power is used for one second. This unit is particularly useful in electrical and mechanical engineering calculations.
