Watt-seconds to Megacalories Conversion
Enter the energy in watt-seconds below to get the value converted to megacalories.
How to Convert Watt-seconds to Megacalories
To convert a watt-second measurement to a megacalorie measurement, divide the energy by the conversion ratio.
Since one megacalorie is equal to 4,184,000 watt-seconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in megacalories is equal to the watt-seconds divided by 4,184,000.
Watt-seconds and megacalories are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Watt-seconds
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]
Megacalories
One megacalorie is equal to 1,000,000 calories, which are the heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius. One megacalorie is equal to 4.184 megajoules.
Megacalories can be abbreviated as Mcal; for example, 1 megacalorie can be written as 1 Mcal.
