Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
