I'm heating a liter of water from 25C to 60C. I'm under the impression that a Calorie (kcal) heats one liter of water by one degree, and so heating one liter by 35 degrees requires 35 Calories.
I want to convert this to Watthours but I'm not sure how...does bringing time into the equation determine how much energy I need to expend? For instance, is there a difference if I need to increase the temperature to 60C in 5 seconds versus a minute?
I could spend a few hours figuring this out for myself but I figured someone else could illuminate me with much less effort
