Unit Definitions
What is a Kilowatt (kW)?
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to one thousand watts, used to quantify the rate of energy transfer.
History
The kilowatt is a metric unit that became widely used in the 19th century during the growth of electrical engineering and power generation. Its adoption helped standardize power ratings for electrical devices.
Current Use
Today, kilowatts are commonly used to measure electrical power consumption in homes and industries, particularly for appliances and machinery.

A Newton-meter (N·m) is a unit of torque that represents the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm of one meter.
History
The Newton-meter was named after Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion, and the meter, which is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It has been in use since the early 20th century.
Current Use
Newton-meters are frequently used in engineering and physics to describe torque in mechanical systems, such as engines, motors, and various machinery.
