Understanding Energy Conversion
What is a Watt-Hour (Wh)?
A watt-hour is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt of power expended for one hour. It's commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in households and electronic devices.
What is a Gigajoule (GJ)?
A gigajoule is a unit of energy equal to one billion (109) joules. It's often used in large-scale energy measurements, such as industrial processes and natural gas consumption.
Conversion Formula
1 Watt-hour (Wh) = 0.0000036 Gigajoules (GJ)
To convert: Gigajoules = Watt-hours × 3.6 × 10⁻⁶
