The formula to convert Watts to Calories (C) is:
\[ C = P \cdot t \cdot 0.239005736 \]
Where:
The conversion from watts to calories is based on the relationship between the watt, which is a unit of power, and the calorie, which is a unit of energy. Since power is the rate at which energy is used or produced, to find the energy in calories, you need to multiply the power in watts by the time in seconds during which the power is exerted, and then convert the result to calories using the conversion factor.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to convert Watts to Calories:
\[ C = 100 \cdot 60 \cdot 0.239005736 = 1434.03 \text{ Calories} \]
This means that the energy for this example is 1434.03 calories.
