The SI unit is watt. But commercially it is sold using kWh, which actually is the unit measuring energy.

Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per second. Electric power is usually produced by electric generators, but can also be supplied by sources such as electric batteries

Question : Electric power is typically measured in what units? When we talk about powering appliances in our home with electricity, we are not usually interested in how much energy an appliance uses per sec., but rather the rate of energy use, or in other words, how much energy per unit time the appliance draws. This quantity is called the "power": Power = Energy / Time In particular, for electrical power we use the "Watt" (named after the scientist James Watt): 1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second. It is important not to confuse power and energy, although they are closely related. Just remember that power is the rate at which energy is delivered, not an amount of energy itself. With simple algebra, can turn the formula above for power around to solve for energy instead, and write: Energy = Power x Time. For example, using the definition of the word watt given above, a 100 watt light bulb is a device that converts 100 joules of electrical energy into 100 joules of electromagnetic radiation (light) every second. If you leave a 100 watt light on for one hour, that is, 3600 seconds, then the total energy you used was: Energy = Power x Time = (100 Joules/Second) x (3600 Seconds) = 360,000 Joules Watts are a very convenient unit when working with appliances, people like work with another unit, called the "kilo-watt hour": 1 kilo-watt hour = the energy delivered by 1000 watts of power over a one hour time period. read less

Hi friends. I thought of sharing something wonderful i found on web so that it can help all of us & augment our understanding of the topic - 'Limit' . I have shared the complete pdf in my profile gallery or the original web link at the end of this post. An Intuitive Introduction To Limits Limits, the Foundations Of Calculus, seem so artificial and weasely: “Let x approach 0, but not get there, yet we’ll act like it’s there… ” Ugh. Here’s how I learned to enjoy them: What is a limit? Our best prediction of a point we didn’t observe. How do we make a prediction? Zoom into the neighboring points. If our prediction is always in between neighboring points, no matter how much we zoom, that’s our estimate. Why do we need limits? Math has “black hole” scenarios (dividing by zero, going to infinity), and limits give us a reasonable estimate. How do we know we’re right? We don’t. Our prediction, the limit, isn’t required to match reality. But for most natural phenomena, it sure seems to. Limits let us ask “What if?”. If we can directly observe a function at a value (like x=0, or x growing infinitely), we don’t need a prediction. The limit wonders, “If you can see everything except a single value, what do you think is there?”. When our prediction is consistent and improves the closer we look, we feel confident in it. And if the function behaves smoothly, like most real ­world functions do, the limit is where the missing point must be. Key Analogy: Predicting A Soccer Ball (associated pics in original post) Pretend you’re watching a soccer game. Unfortunately, the connection is choppy: So we missed what happened at 4:00. Even so, what’s your prediction for the ball’s position? Easy. Just grab the neighboring instants (3:59 and 4:01) and predict the ball to be somewhere in­ between. And… it works! Real ­world objects don’t teleport? they move through intermediate positions along their path from A to B. Our prediction is “At 4:00, the ball was between its position at 3:59 and 4:01?. Not bad. With a slow ­motion camera, we might even say “At 4:00, the ball was between its positions at 3:59.999 and 4:00.001?. Limits are a strategy for making confident predictions. Limits aren’t the only tool for checking the answers to impossible questions; infinitesimals work too. The key is understanding what we’re trying to predict, then learning the rules of making predictions. Happy math. (Original author - Mr. kalid ) Original post link: http://betterexplained.com/articles/an-intuitive-introduction-to-limits/ My profile link: https://www.urbanpro.com/delhi/pankaj-k/2531974 You may find more interesting stuff and information that can be of some help to you. I will be adding more pdfs in gallery soon . Sharing is caring.
If one wants the pdf in my galley on 'limits' can give a better understanding of the same material.
