FAQ for J → Wh
Is kWh the same as a food calorie?

No. kWh is electrical energy; kcal is common on food labels. We only convert physical energy equivalents.

How many kcal in 1 kWh?

About 860.4 kcal (thermochemical, since 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ). See the live factor on this page.

Formula?

Wh = J × 0.000278 (1 J = 0.000278 WH)

Reverse?

1 watt-hour ≈ 3600 joule.

How much is 1 joule in watt-hour?

0.000278 watt-hour. Factor 1 joule = 0.000278 watt-hour.

How the Joule to Watt-hour converter works

This hub describes the pair, not a single number. Pages like 1, 10 or 100 Joule answer exact searches.

NiftyRecipe uses thermochemical energy factors (for example 1 kcal = 4184 J). Results do not change with the time of day.
