Considering all of the errors and mistakes government makes, the post about A Flock of Seagulls seems to be a perfect case of the pot calling the kettle black. (Not to mention that there is no such animal as a seagull).
An electric heater rated at 1000 watts (1 kilowatt), operating for one hour uses one kilowatt-hour (equivalent to 3.6 megajoules) of energy. A television rated at 100 watts operating for 10 hours continuously uses one kilowatt-hour. A 40-watt light bulb operating continuously for 25 hours uses one kilowatt-hour.
One watt is defined as one joule per second. So one kilowatt is defined as 1000 joules per second. Don't confuse Energy (joules) with Power (watts). Power is the rate of pro â¦ duction of energy, so it must have dimensions which include per second or per hour, or per some other unit of time.
