We have Seen a Unit is used in Electricity Bills to Calculate Energy Consumption and also we have seen in Energy Meter, Electrical Energy Consumed is displayed in KWH.
One Unit of Electricity
A unit (which is mentioned on the electricity bills) is represented in KWH i.e Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual amount of Electricity or Electrical Energy Consumed by the Consumer. If we use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of Electricity over the period of 1 hour then we can say we have consumed 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) of electricity. The basic unit of electricity is the Kilowatt hour (KWH).
One unit of electricity is defined as 1000 watts of electrical energy consumed by load over the period of one hour. For example, Consider 1 KWH is the amount of energy used by a 1KW (1000 watt) Electric Bulb or Heater or another Load in 1 hour.
Therefore, 1 Unit is Equals to 1 KWH i.e 1000W * 3600s which is 3.6 * 106 J.
Conclusion
Hope, you have clearly understand about the Value of One Unit of Electricity, definition, Relation between Unit and KWH. Make sure to leave Your Opinion and suggestion about this Post in Comment section below.
