Energy Converters

Pick a family to convert between common scientific, electrical, and nutritional energy units using exact base relationships.

Explanation

Energy families here derive all factors from joules using exact base definitions: 1 kJ = 1000 J, 1 cal = 4.184 J, 1 kcal = 4184 J, 1 Wh = 3600 J, 1 kWh = 3,600,000 J, and 1 BTU (IT) = 1055.05585262 J.

How to use this hub

  1. Choose a converter family.
  2. If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
  3. For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.

If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are these energy factors derived?

Each factor is derived through joules so scientific, electrical, and nutritional units remain internally consistent.

Are these relationships fixed?

Yes. They use exact base definitions and fixed constants, so the conversion factors are stable and reproducible.
