Enter to total kilo-watts and the total amount of time into the calculator to determine the joules of energy.
KW to Joules Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the total amount of joules from kilowatts of power.
J = KW * T *1000
- Where J is joules
- KW is the kilowatts
- T is the time in seconds.
To calculate the joules from KW, multiply the power by the time.
How is KW converted to Joules?
KW is a measure of power, which is energy per unit time, and Joules are energy, so to convert between the two, the power must be multiplied by time.
How to calculate Joules from KW?
Example Problem:
The following example problem outlines the steps and information needed to calculate joules from kW.
First, determine the total amount of power. In this example, the total power is measured to be 10 kW.
Next, determine the total amount of time. In this case, the total amount of time is 500 seconds.
Finally, calculate the total amount of joules using the formula above:
J = KW * T *1000
J = 10 * 500 *1000
J = 5,000,000 joules
