Wh to MJ Converter - Watt-hour to Megajoule

Conversion derivation

Express both Wh and MJ in the same base unit J (joule), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite Wh in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{Wh}=3,600\mathrm{J}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite MJ in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{MJ}=1,000,000\mathrm{J}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{Wh}& =\frac{3,600\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}{1,000,000\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}\times 1\mathrm{MJ}\\ & =\frac{3,600}{1,000,000}\mathrm{MJ}\\ & =0.0036\mathrm{MJ}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{MJ}& =\frac{1,000,000\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}{3,600\cancel{\mathrm{J}}}\times 1\mathrm{Wh}\\ & =\frac{1,000,000}{3,600}\mathrm{Wh}\\ & =277.777777778\mathrm{Wh}\end{array}$$
