Convert nanojoule to watt-second
Please provide values below to convert nanojoule [nJ] to watt-second [W*s], or Convert watt-second to nanojoule.
1 nJ = 1e-09 W*s. To convert nanojoule to watt-second, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W*s = 1000000000 nJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nJ = 1e-09 W*s
- 1 W*s = 1000000000 nJ
- 10 nJ = 1e-08 W*s
- 100 nJ = 1e-07 W*s
How to Convert Nanojoule to Watt-Second
1 nJ = 1e-09 W*s
Example: convert 15 nJ to W*s:
15 nJ = 15 × 1e-09 W*s = 1.5e-08 W*s

Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanojoule in watt-second?
1 nanojoule (nJ) = 1e-09 watt-second (W*s).
How do you convert nanojoule to watt-second?
Multiply the nanojoule value by 1e-09. For example, 25 nJ × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 W*s.
What is 10 nanojoule in watt-second?
10 nJ = 1e-08 W*s.
Which unit is larger, the nanojoule or the watt-second?
The watt-second is the larger unit: 1 nJ equals only 1e-09 W*s.
