Why are Watt Hours not Watts per Hour? Are they the same thing?
In: 1289
Watt-hour is watts * hours. This is a unit of energy.
Watts per hour is watts / hours. This is a unit of the rate of the rate of energy consumption.
After converting hours to seconds these units would be equivalent to:
Watt-hours –> Joules
Watts per Hour –> Joules per second per second or Joules / second^2. You might look at this as the acceleration of energy usage.
