Convert attojoule/second to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert attojoule/second [aJ/s] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to attojoule/second.
1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-16 cW. To convert attojoule/second to centiwatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 1.0000e+16 aJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-16 cW
- 1 cW = 1.0000e+16 aJ/s
- 10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-15 cW
- 100 aJ/s = 1.0000e-14 cW
How to Convert Attojoule/second to Centiwatt
1 aJ/s = 1e-16 cW
Example: convert 15 aJ/s to cW:
15 aJ/s = 15 × 1e-16 cW = 1.5e-15 cW

Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attojoule/second in centiwatt?
1 attojoule/second (aJ/s) = 1.0000e-16 centiwatt (cW).
How do you convert attojoule/second to centiwatt?
Multiply the attojoule/second value by 1.0000e-16. For example, 25 aJ/s × 1.0000e-16 = 2.5000e-15 cW.
What is 10 attojoule/second in centiwatt?
10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-15 cW.
Which unit is larger, the attojoule/second or the centiwatt?
