eli5 What is the difference between kW and kWh
In: 0
I’ve got a 1000W microwave here – that means when it’s on, it’ll use 1000W – a kilowatt – to heat up beans. If I leave it on for an hour, it will have used 1 kilowatt-hour, and created some very burnt and possibly on fire beans. **Watts measure how much energy something uses, and watt-hours is how long it uses that energy for.** The k/ kilo part is a short way of saying 1000.
