Convert Hartree energy to watt-second
Please provide values below to convert Hartree energy [Eh] to watt-second [W*s], or Convert watt-second to Hartree energy.
1 Eh = 4.3597e-18 W*s. To convert Hartree energy to watt-second, multiply the value by 4.3597e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W*s = 2.2937e+17 Eh). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Eh = 4.3597e-18 W*s
- 1 W*s = 2.2937e+17 Eh
- 10 Eh = 4.3597e-17 W*s
- 100 Eh = 4.3597e-16 W*s
How to Convert Hartree Energy to Watt-Second
1 Eh = 4.3597482e-18 W*s
Example: convert 15 Eh to W*s:
15 Eh = 15 × 4.3597482e-18 W*s = 6.5396223e-17 W*s

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.
Watt-Second
A watt-second (W·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one joule, representing the amount of energy transferred or converted when one watt of power is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The watt-second originated from the SI system of units, where the watt (W) is the SI derived unit of power, and the second (s) is the SI base unit of time. It has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where energy transfer occurs over short durations.
Current Use
The watt-second is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, such as in electrical and mechanical systems. It is often replaced by the joule in modern applications but remains a recognized unit within the energy converter category.
