Conversion KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year

In summary, the average power consumption of the appliance is 277 W and it consumes 6650 kWh per day. In a year, it would consume 6650*365= 2,422,250 kWh or 8,719,700,000 joules of energy. The conversion factor for b) is 1 year.

P = W/t. (P = power, W = work = energy output more or less, t = time.) You've got P from part a and now t = 1 year.

1. How do I convert KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year?

To convert KWH (kilowatt-hour) of energy per day to Joules in a year, you can use the following formula:
1 KWH = 3,600,000 Joules
Multiply the number of KWH per day by 3,600,000 and then by the number of days in a year.

2. How many Joules are in a KWH of energy?

One KWH (kilowatt-hour) of energy is equal to 3,600,000 Joules. This means that 1 Joule is equivalent to 0.000000277778 KWH.

3. Can I convert KWH of energy per day to Joules in a month instead of a year?

Yes, you can convert KWH of energy per day to Joules in a month by multiplying the number of KWH per day by 3,600,000 and then by the number of days in the month. However, keep in mind that this will only give you the energy consumption for that specific month, whereas converting to Joules in a year will give you the energy consumption for the entire year.

4. Why do we need to convert KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year?

Converting KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year allows us to accurately measure and compare energy consumption over a longer period of time. It gives us a better understanding of how much energy is being used and can help us make more informed decisions about energy usage and conservation.

5. Can I use an online calculator to convert KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year?

Yes, there are many online calculators available that can easily convert KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year. Simply input the number of KWH per day and the number of days in a year and the calculator will do the conversion for you.
