How to convert watts to joules

How to convert electric power in watts (W) to energy in joules (J).

You can calculate joules from watts and seconds, but you can't convert watts to joules since watt and joule units represent different quantities.

Watts to joules calculation formula

So The energy E in joules (J) is equal to the power P in watts (W), times the time period t in seconds (s).

E(J) = P(W) × t(s)

So

joules = watts × seconds

or

J = W × s

Example 1

What is the energy consumption of an electrical circuit that has power consumption of 40 watts for time duration of 3 seconds?

E(J) = 40W × 3s = 120J

Example 2

What is the energy consumption of an electrical circuit that has power consumption of 50 watts for time duration of 3 seconds?

E(J) = 50W × 3s = 150J

Example 3

What is the energy consumption of an electrical circuit that has power consumption of 60 watts for time duration of 3 seconds?

E(J) = 60W × 3s = 180J

Example 4

What is the energy consumption of an electrical circuit that has power consumption of 100 watts for time duration of 3 seconds?

E(J) = 100W × 3s = 300J
