Question

What is called 1 unit?

Answer 1

In terms of electricity, **1 unit** of electricity refers to **1 kilowatt-hour (kWh)** of energy.

Here’s how it works:
- **1 kilowatt (kW)** is equal to **1,000 watts** of power.
- **1 kilowatt-hour (kWh)** is the amount of energy consumed by a device that uses **1 kilowatt** of power for **1 hour**.

For example:
- If you run a 1,000-watt (1 kW) appliance like a microwave for 1 hour, it will consume **1 unit** of electricity, or **1 kWh**.

To put it simply, **1 unit** is just a measure of how much energy is used.
