About the Energy Converter
Energy can describe food, electricity, heating, mechanical work, and scientific measurements. This converter uses joules as the SI base, the thermochemical calorie of exactly 4.184 joules, the international BTU, and watt-hours. For example, 1 kWh is 3,600,000 J. Keeping the units explicit prevents confusing power (rate of energy) with energy itself.
Use it to compare a kilowatt-hour on an electricity bill with joules, estimate heating energy in BTU, or convert nutrition labels—for example, a 500 kcal food label represents 2,092,000 J. The Power Converter handles watts and horsepower, while the Temperature Converter complements thermal calculations.
