Convert attojoule/second to kilowatt
Please provide values below to convert attojoule/second [aJ/s] to kilowatt [kW], or Convert kilowatt to attojoule/second.
1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-21 kW. To convert attojoule/second to kilowatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW = 1.0000e+21 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-21 kW
- 1 kW = 1.0000e+21 aJ/s
- 10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-20 kW
- 100 aJ/s = 1.0000e-19 kW
How to Convert Attojoule/second to Kilowatt
1 aJ/s = 1e-21 kW
Example: convert 15 aJ/s to kW:
15 aJ/s = 15 × 1e-21 kW = 1.5e-20 kW

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.
Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attojoule/second in kilowatt?
1 attojoule/second (aJ/s) = 1.0000e-21 kilowatt (kW).
How do you convert attojoule/second to kilowatt?
Multiply the attojoule/second value by 1.0000e-21. For example, 25 aJ/s × 1.0000e-21 = 2.5000e-20 kW.
What is 10 attojoule/second in kilowatt?
10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-20 kW.
Which unit is larger, the attojoule/second or the kilowatt?
The kilowatt is the larger unit: 1 aJ/s equals only 1.0000e-21 kW.
