Energy consumption can be measured in joules (J). If we want to determine how much energy an appliance consumes in a day, all we need is the power the appliance uses in watts (W) and how long the appliance is used for (in seconds). The formula for calculating this is:

$\text{Energy Consumed}$Energy Consumed$=$=$\text{Power }$Power $\times$×$\text{Time }$Time
