To convert joules to watt-hours, divide the value by 3600.
The Formula
Watt-hours = Joules ÷ 3600
Key Fact
1 watt-hour = 3600 joules
Tip: To convert watt-hours back to joules, multiply by 3600.
Convert joules (J) to watt-hours (Wh) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
To convert 1 joules to watt-hours, we divide by 3600 because one watt-hour equals exactly 3600 joules.
Since there are 3600 joules in every watt-hour, we divide our value by this factor:
So 1 joules = 0.0003 watt-hours.
To convert joules to watt-hours, divide the value by 3600.
1 watt-hour = 3600 joules
