  2. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    The dimension of power is energy divided by time. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other common and traditional measures are horsepower (hp), comparing to the power of a horse; one mechanical horsepower equals about 745.7 watts.

  3. Watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt

    The watt-second is a unit of energy, equal to the joule. One kilowatt hour is 3,600,000 watt seconds. While a watt per hour is a unit of rate of change of power with time, [iii] it is not correct to refer to a watt (or watt-hour) as a watt per hour. [36]

  4. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The joule (/ dʒ uː l / JOOL, or / dʒ aʊ l / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). [1] In terms of SI base units, one joule corresponds to one kilogram-square metre per square second (1 J = 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2).

  5. Units of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_energy

    The British imperial units and U.S. customary units for both energy and work include the foot-pound force (1.3558 J), the British thermal unit (BTU) which has various values in the region of 1055 J, the horsepower-hour (2.6845 MJ), and the gasoline gallon equivalent (about 120 MJ). Log-base-10 of the ratios between various measures of energy

  6. Electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

    Electric power is the rate of transfer of electrical energy within a circuit.Its SI unit is the watt, the general unit of power, defined as one joule per second.Standard prefixes apply to watts as with other SI units: thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts, megawatts and gigawatts respectively.

  7. Decibel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

    There is no fixed conversion rule between dB iC and dB i , as it depends on the receiving antenna and the field polarization. dB J energy relative to 1 joule: 1 joule = 1 watt-second = 1 watt per hertz, so power spectral density can be expressed in dB J . dB k dB(kW) – power relative to 1 kilowatt. dB K

  8. Intensity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_(physics)

    [a] In the SI system, it has units watts per square metre (W/m 2), or kg⋅s −3 in base units. Intensity is used most frequently with waves such as acoustic waves ( sound ), matter waves such as electrons in electron microscopes , and electromagnetic waves such as light or radio waves , in which case the average power transfer over one period ...

  9. Joule-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule-second

    The joule-second (symbol J⋅s or J s) is the unit of action and of angular momentum in the International System of Units (SI) equal to the product of an SI derived unit, the joule (J), and an SI base unit, the second (s). [1] The joule-second is a unit of action or of angular momentum. The joule-second also appears in quantum mechanics within ...
