1. What is the 10 Watts to kWh Calculator?

This calculator converts power consumption of a 10-watt device over a period of time into kilowatt-hours (kWh), the standard unit of energy used by electric utilities for billing purposes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the energy consumption formula:

Where:

• 10 — Constant wattage of the device
• h — Usage time in hours
• 1000 — Conversion factor from watts to kilowatts

Explanation: The formula calculates the total energy consumed by multiplying power (10W) by time (hours) and converting to kilowatt-hours.

3. Importance of Energy Calculation

Details: Understanding energy consumption helps estimate electricity costs, compare device efficiency, and manage energy usage for sustainability.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total usage time in hours (can be decimal for partial hours). The calculator will compute the total energy consumed in kilowatt-hours.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why convert watts to kilowatt-hours?
A: Electric utilities bill by kilowatt-hour, so this conversion helps estimate costs from device power ratings.

Q2: How much does 10 watts cost to run?
A: At $0.12 per kWh, 10 watts costs about $0.0012 per hour, $0.0288 per day, or $8.64 per month if running continuously.

Q3: What devices use about 10 watts?
A: Examples include LED bulbs, phone chargers, small fans, or WiFi routers in standby mode.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It assumes constant 10W draw. Actual consumption may vary with device usage patterns and power fluctuations.

Q5: Can I calculate for other wattages?
A: For different wattages, simply replace "10" in the formula with your device's wattage.
