How the formula works
Both kilowatt-hour and attojoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilowatt hours by 3.600000000e+24 to get attojoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a attojoule value by 2.777777778e-25 to get back to kilowatt hours.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilowatt-hour (kWh)?
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the standard billing unit for electricity, equal to 1,000 watts sustained for one hour.
What is Attojoule (aJ)?
A attojoule (aJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 10-18 joules, a fraction of a single joule, using the SI atto prefix.
How do I convert kilowatt hours to attojoules?
Multiply the kilowatt-hour value by 3.600000000e+24 to get the equivalent in attojoules. For example, 5 kWh × 3.600000000e+24 = 1.800000e+25 aJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 3.600000000e+24 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert attojoules back to kilowatt hours?
Yes. Divide the attojoule value by 3.600000000e+24, or multiply it by 2.777777778e-25, to get kilowatt hours.
