Base Unit Method

Vtarget=Vinput×FinputFtargetV_{target} = V_{input} \times \frac{F_{input}}{F_{target}}

VtargetV_{target} = Value in target unit

VinputV_{input} = Value in input unit

FinputF_{input} = Conversion factor to base

FtargetF_{target} = Conversion factor from base

Understanding Energy Converter

Forms of Energy

Energy comes in many forms: kinetic (motion), potential (position), thermal (heat), chemical (bonds), electrical, and nuclear. All can be measured in joules, but specialized units exist for convenience.

Food Energy

Food calories (kcal) measure energy your body can extract from food. One food calorie equals 1000 scientific calories and provides about 4184 joules of energy.

Electrical Energy

Kilowatt-hours (kWh) measure electrical energy consumption. Your electricity bill charges per kWh used. One kWh equals 3.6 million joules of energy.

Heating and Cooling

BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures heating and cooling capacity. Air conditioners and heaters are often rated in BTU/hour, indicating their energy consumption rate.
