Beer goes with peanuts, wine with cheese. Also, alcohol itself is high in caloriesâ7 calories per gram, almost as much as fat (9 calories per gram) and more than carbs or protein (about 4 per gram). Alcoholic beverages all contain calories, and most of the calories come from the alcohol.
Current and Power and Energy. The unit used to measure the flow of electricity, or current, is the ampere (A). The unit to measure power is the watt (W). Energy is measured in Joules (J). Amperes are really a measure of a rate of electron flow (electrons per second), or equivalently, how much charge is passed per second (Coulombs per second). 1 A = 1 Coulomb per second, and 1 electron has a charge of 1.602 * 10-19 Coulombs.
What is a unit of electricity. Your electricity bill will show the electricity used in 'units', the price of each unit is also shown. Ever wondered what a 'unit' of electricity is or how long you can run an appliance for on one unit. The examples below will help you to understand just what a unit is and just how much it buys you in real terms! One unit of electricity is exactly equal to 1000 Watts of power used for 1 hour. Look at the cost you pay per unit (unit cost) (this may be anywhere between 4p and 12p depending upon your supplier and any special discount schemes) you can get the exact amount per unit from your electricity bill.
