The unit joule is too small and hence is inconvenient to express large quantities of energy. We use a bigger unit of energy called kilowatt hour (kW h).

The commercial unit of electric energy is kilowatt hour (kW h), commonly known as 'unit'.

1 kWh is the amount of energy consumed by an electrical gadget in one hour at the rate of 1000 J/s or 1kW.

The energy used in households, industries and commercial establishments are usually expressed in kilowatt hour. For example, electrical energy used during a month is expressed in terms of ‘units’. Here, 1 ‘unit’ means 1-kilowatt hour.
