Hartree Energy
The Hartree energy (Eh) is a unit of energy used in atomic physics, representing the total energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
History/Origin
Named after the American physicist Douglas Hartree, the Hartree energy was introduced in the early 20th century as a fundamental atomic unit of energy within the system of atomic units, facilitating calculations in quantum mechanics.
Current Use
The Hartree energy is primarily used in theoretical and computational chemistry and physics to express energies at the atomic and molecular scale, especially in quantum chemistry calculations and atomic physics research.
Kilowatt-Hour
A kilowatt-hour (kW·h) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or used when a power of one kilowatt is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-hour originated in the late 19th century with the development of electrical power systems, becoming a standard unit for measuring electrical energy consumption and billing.
Current Use
It is widely used today in electricity billing, energy consumption monitoring, and in various engineering and scientific applications to quantify electrical energy usage.
