The joule (/ËdÊuËl/), symbol J, is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred (or work done) to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or NÂ·m).
The unit used for electricity (kWh) is actually a unit of energy whereas the Watt is the unit of power. And Energy = Power* Time. (Watt*hours)
