Watt-Hour
A watt-hour (W·h) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred or used when one watt of power is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was established as a practical unit of energy measurement with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and has been used in electrical and energy industries to quantify energy consumption and storage since the 20th century.
Current Use
Watt-hours are commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in household appliances, batteries, and energy storage systems, providing a convenient unit for billing, capacity ratings, and energy management.
Dyne Centimeter
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one dyne acts over a distance of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne centimeter originated from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, commonly used in physics before the adoption of the SI system, to measure small amounts of energy or work.
Current Use
Today, the dyne centimeter is primarily used in theoretical physics and specialized fields dealing with CGS units, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most practical applications.
