The kilowatt hour is a convenient unit for electrical bills because the energy usage of a typical electrical customer in one month is several hundred kilowatt hours. Megawatt hours and terawatt hours are used for metering larger amounts of electrical energy Unit Definition (hartree) The hartree is a unit of energy used in atomic and moleclar physics, equal to about 4.3598 x 10E-18 joule or 27.212 electron volts. The unit is named for the British physicist and mathematician Douglas R. Hartree (1897-1958).
