Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an attojoule used to measure?
-
An attojoule measures extremely small amounts of energy such as those at atomic, molecular, or single-photon scales.
-
How is a watt-hour defined?
-
A watt-hour is the energy transferred by one watt of power sustained for one hour, equivalent to 3,600 joules.
-
Why convert attojoules to watt-hours?
-
Converting attojoules to watt-hours helps translate ultra-small energy measurements into practical electrical energy units used for power consumption and billing.
Key Terminology
-
Attojoule (aJ)
-
An SI unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules, used to quantify ultra-small atomic and molecular energies.
-
Watt-hour (W*h)
-
A unit of energy equal to one watt of power applied over one hour, commonly used for electrical energy measurement.
