Convert watts to hectowatt
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
Hectowatt
The hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to one hundred watts (102 W), using the SI prefix hecto-. It is an infrequently used denomination, as watts and kilowatts are generally preferred in practical contexts. Typical incandescent light bulbs and small household fans operate at power levels on the order of a hectowatt.
