How to Convert Watt-Seconds to Kilojoules
To convert a measurement in watt-seconds to a measurement in kilojoules, divide the energy by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 watt-seconds/kilojoule.
Since one kilojoule is equal to 1,000 watt-seconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilojoules = watt-seconds ÷ 1,000
The energy in kilojoules is equal to the energy in watt-seconds divided by 1,000.
Watt-seconds and kilojoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Watt-Second?
The watt-second is a measure of electrical energy equal to one watt of power over a one second period. One watt-second is equal to 1/3,600 of a watt-hour or one joule.
Watt-seconds are usually abbreviated as Ws, although the formally adopted expression is W·s. The abbreviation W s is also sometimes used. For example, 1 watt-second can be written as 1 Ws, 1 W·s, or 1 W s.
In formal expressions, the centered dot (·) or space is used to separate units used to indicate multiplication in an expression and to avoid conflicting prefixes being misinterpreted as a unit symbol.[1]

What Is a Kilojoule?
One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, which is the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The kilojoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilojoules can be abbreviated as kJ; for example, 1 kilojoule can be written as 1 kJ.
