ELECTRICAL ENERGY

• Def: The measure of the ability to do work

• Symbol: E
• Unit: J (joules) if Time is measured in s and Power is measured in W
kWh (kilo-watt-hour) if Time is measured in h and Power is measured in kW
• Energy is calculated mathematically using Power and Time
 E measured in J
Or
E measured in kWh

𝐸 = 𝑃 × ∆𝑡

P measured in W Δt measured in s
or or
P measured in kW Δt measured in h
