Question

How is energy measured

Answer 1

Energy is measured in terms of joules (J) or kilowatt-hours (kWh). One joule is equal to the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object one meter. One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3.6 megajoules. Energy can also be measured in terms of calories, British thermal units (BTUs), or electronvolts (eV), depending on the context and the specific type of energy being measured.
