Watt-Hour
A watt-hour (W·h) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred or used when one watt of power is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was established as a practical unit of energy measurement with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and has been used in electrical and energy industries to quantify energy consumption and storage since the 20th century.
Current Use
Watt-hours are commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in household appliances, batteries, and energy storage systems, providing a convenient unit for billing, capacity ratings, and energy management.
Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
