The Conversion Formula

The formula for converting kilowatt-hours (kWh) to joules (J) is:

\[J = kWh \times 3,600,000\]

Where:

• J: Joules
• kWh: Kilowatt-hours
• 3,600,000: The conversion factor from kWh to J

Conversion Steps

1. Start with the amount of energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
2. Multiply the kWh value by 3,600,000
3. The result is the equivalent energy in joules (J)

Example Conversion

Let's convert 5 kWh to joules:

\[J = 5 kWh \times 3,600,000 = 18,000,000 J\]
