Solution

  1. 1 Kilowatt (kW) is the measure of power that an electrical appliance consumes. (1kW=1000W).
  2. 1 Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the energy consumed when using a power of 1kW for 1h. In other words,1kWh equals one hour of electricity usage at a rate of 1kW.

Therefore, 1 kW is a measure of power while 1 kWh is a measure of electrical energy.
