1 kWh expressed in megajoules is

  • A.36
  • B.3.6
  • C.1.0
  • D.0.36

Answer: B

Correct answer: 3.6

A kilowatt hour is a thousand watts for 3,600 seconds: \[ 1000 \times 3600 = 3.6\times10^6\ \mathrm{J} = 3.6\ \mathrm{MJ}. \] The conversion is worth knowing by heart, since energy accounts routinely mix electrical units with thermal ones and the two must be brought to a common basis before anything can be added.
