An Energy Converter is used to convert between different units of energy. Energy is a fundamental concept in physics, and it's measured in various units depending on the context, such as joules (J), kilojoules (kJ), calories (cal), kilocalories (kcal), watt-hours (Wh), and electron volts (eV).
Common Units of Energy and Their Conversion:
- Joules (J) – The SI unit for energy.
- Kilojoules (kJ) – 1 kJ = 1,000 J.
- Calories (cal) – Often used in food energy, 1 cal = 4.184 J.
- Kilocalories (kcal) – Also known as "large calories," commonly used in nutrition (1 kcal = 1,000 cal).
- Watt-hours (Wh) – Used for electrical energy (1 Wh = 3,600 J).
- Kilowatt-hours (kWh) – A common unit of electricity billing (1 kWh = 1,000 Wh = 3,600,000 J).
- Electron Volts (eV) – A unit used in atomic and particle physics (1 eV = 1.60218 × 10^-19 J).
