Conversion Formula

1 cal = 0.001162 wh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Calorie = 4.184 joules
   1 Watt-hour = 3.60k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 cal = (4.184 J) / (3.60k J/wh) = 0.001162 wh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in cal by 0.001162 to get the equivalent in wh

Example Conversion
