How to Convert Kilocalories to Watt-Seconds
To convert a measurement in kilocalories to a measurement in watt-seconds, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 4,184 watt-seconds/kilocalorie.
Since one kilocalorie is equal to 4,184 watt-seconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:
watt-seconds = kilocalories × 4,184
The energy in watt-seconds is equal to the energy in kilocalories multiplied by 4,184.
How Many Watt-Seconds Are in a Kilocalorie?
There are 4,184 watt-seconds in a kilocalorie, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kcal = 4,184 Ws
Kilocalories and watt-seconds are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilocalorie?
One kilocalorie, is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius.
Kilocalories can be abbreviated as kcal; for example, 1 kilocalorie can be written as 1 kcal.
When being used to measure nutrition or metabolic processes, the large calorie is used, which is equal to one kilocalorie.

What Is a Watt-Second?
The watt-second is a measure of electrical energy equal to one watt of power over a one second period. One watt-second is equal to 1/3,600 of a watt-hour or one joule.
Watt-seconds are usually abbreviated as Ws, although the formally adopted expression is W·s. The abbreviation W s is also sometimes used. For example, 1 watt-second can be written as 1 Ws, 1 W·s, or 1 W s.
In formal expressions, the centered dot (·) or space is used to separate units used to indicate multiplication in an expression and to avoid conflicting prefixes being misinterpreted as a unit symbol.[1]
