Energy Conversion Calculator
The Energy Conversion Calculator is a free online tool that allows users to convert between different units of energy, including Joules, Kilowatt-hours, and Calories. This calculator is designed to provide accurate and reliable conversions, making it a valuable resource for students, scientists, and professionals working with energy-related fields. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive conversion capabilities, the Energy Conversion Calculator is an essential tool for anyone looking to simplify their energy calculations.
How the Energy Conversion Calculator Works
The Energy Conversion Calculator uses a simple formula to convert between different units of energy. The formula is based on the conversion factors between each unit, which are as follows:
From Unit | To Unit | Conversion Factor |
---|---|---|
Joules | Kilowatt-hours | 0.000277778 |
Joules | Calories | 0.239006 |
Kilowatt-hours | Joules | 3600000 |
Kilowatt-hours | Calories | 860.421 |
Calories | Joules | 4.184 |
Calories | Kilowatt-hours | 0.00116278 |
For example, to convert 1000 Joules to Kilowatt-hours, the calculator would multiply 1000 by the conversion factor of 0.000277778, resulting in 0.277778 Kilowatt-hours.
