Do you agree with this?


YES I AGREE STRONGLY WITH THAT

Why did it say watt hours and then say that it is equal to joules?

notice it did not say joule-hours !!!

Nor can any amount of watts ever equal any amount of kwh.

watt-hours are energy, joules are energy. no problem.

it DOES NOT say that watts are equal to any amount of joules.

That's not what it says. It compares WATT-HOURS to joules, NOT WATTS.

False. You can't even understand the sources you read.

To seal the deal that you can't read English?

[quote]Inversely, one watt is equal to 1 J/s.

Not inversely. 1 w = 1 J/s, period.

You've missed the entire point.

because 1 W/s <> 1 J/s, because 1 S <> 1 J.

Because 1 W = 1 J / s.

This is irrelevant. You're either a complete idiot or you're yanking my chain. It's difficult for me to believe that anyone is as thoroughly stupid as you portray.

Logic is a mystery to you, as is mathematics, as is reading comprehension.
