Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
Poundal Foot
The poundal foot (pdl*ft) is a unit of energy representing the work done when a force of one poundal acts over a distance of one foot.
History/Origin
The poundal foot originated in the foot-poundal system of units, which was used primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
The poundal foot is rarely used today and has been largely replaced by the joule in scientific and engineering contexts. It may still appear in historical references or specialized fields dealing with imperial units.
