Convert attojoule/second to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert attojoule/second [aJ/s] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to attojoule/second.
1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-30 TW. To convert attojoule/second to terawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 1.0000e+30 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-30 TW
- 1 TW = 1.0000e+30 aJ/s
- 10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-29 TW
- 100 aJ/s = 1.0000e-28 TW
How to Convert Attojoule/second to Terawatt
1 aJ/s = 1e-30 TW
Example: convert 15 aJ/s to TW:
15 aJ/s = 15 × 1e-30 TW = 1.5e-29 TW

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.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
