1kwh=1kw used continously for 1hour=5rs or 7rs or 10rs=3.6MEGA JOULES

How to convert in unit?

What do you mean in unit?

Kilowatt = 1000 watts

watt = 1 watt

Kilowatt Hour = 1000 watts over 1 hour

When an appliance is rated at 600W, it means that appliance consumes 600 Watts an hour, or 0.6kWh.

If the cost per kWh is Rs. 6, then it means that to run a 600W appliance for one hour will cost you rs. 3.6 (0.6 x Rs. 6).

Hope this helps

I mean if 1kW is consumed for an hour than how much unit will be electric meter will show.

According to ShoukaT, 1Kwh is 1 unit as per electirc meter.

yar raza u hav confused him

yar its simple if u run an iron 1000watt.=10x100watt. Bulbs=50x20watt. Energy savers=1000watt.=1Kw for one hour constantly then your meter moves 1 unit ahead

mfa i ll advise u to take a look at ur electric meter and u can c these words writen after the reading "in KWH" which our wapda calls a unit
