Fields

Calorie A calorie (symbol: cal) is a unit of energy expressing the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.
GigaJoule A gigajoule (symbol: GJ) is a unit of energy equals to one billion (10^9) joules.
HorsePower A horse power (symbol: hp) is a unit of measurement of power defined as the rate at which work is done, which is approximately 735.5 watts.
Joule A joule (symbol: J) is a unit of energy, equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N·m).

It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second.

KiloCalorie A kilocalorie (symbol: kcal) is a unit of energy equal to one thousand (10^3) calories.
KiloJoule A kilojoule (symbol: kJ) is a unit of energy equals to one thousand (10^3) joules.
KiloWatt A kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit of energy equals to one thousand (10^3) watts.
KiloWattHour A kilowatt-hour (symbol: kWh or kW⋅h) is a derived unit of energy equal to 3.6 megajoules.

It is the energy equivalent to the power of one kilowatt sustained for one hour.

KiloWattSecond A kilowatt-second (symbol: kWs or kW⋅s) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to the power of one kilowatt sustained for one second.
MegaJoule A megajoule (symbol: MJ) is a unit of energy equals to one million (10^6) joules.
MegaWatt A megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of energy equals to one million (10^6) watts.
Watt A watt (symbol: W) is a derived unit of power, defined as 1 joule per second, and can be used to quantify the rate of energy transfer.
WattHour A watt-hour (symbol: Wh or W⋅h) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to the power of one watt sustained for one hour.
WattSecond A watt-second (symbol: Ws or W·s) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to a joule.

The watt-second is the energy equivalent to the power of one watt sustained for one second.

While the watt-second is equivalent to the joule in both units and meaning, there are some contexts in which the term "watt-second" is used instead of "joule".

Extension Methods

CanConvertTo Determines whether the source object can be converted to the specified target type.
