Watts Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator converts energy (watt-hours) to power (watts) by dividing the energy by time in hours.
Purpose: It helps determine the average power consumption or production when you know the total energy used/generated over a specific time period.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The energy in watt-hours is divided by the time period in hours to calculate the average power in watts.
Details: Understanding power consumption helps in sizing electrical systems, calculating energy costs, and designing efficient power solutions.
Tips: Enter the energy in watt-hours and the time period in hours. Both values must be greater than 0.
Q1: What's the difference between watts and watt-hours?
A: Watts measure power (rate of energy use), while watt-hours measure energy (power × time).
Q2: Can I use this for battery calculations?
A: Yes, this helps determine average power draw when you know battery capacity (Wh) and runtime (h).
Q3: What if my time is in minutes instead of hours?
A: Convert minutes to hours by dividing by 60 before entering the value.
Q4: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For most applications, 2 decimal places is sufficient, but use more for precise calculations.
Q5: Can this be used for solar power systems?
A: Yes, it can help calculate average power output from solar panels based on their energy production over time.
