Unit Definitions
What is a Watt-hour (Wh)?
A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy representing the amount of work done by a power of one watt operating for one hour.
History
The concept of the watt-hour was developed in the late 19th century as electrical systems began to proliferate. It provided a practical means for measuring energy consumption in electrical devices.
Current Use
Today, watt-hours are widely used in battery ratings and electricity billing, helping consumers understand energy usage over time.
