Convert attojoule/second to watt
Please provide values below to convert attojoule/second [aJ/s] to watt [W], or Convert watt to attojoule/second.
1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-18 W. To convert attojoule/second to watt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W = 1.0000e+18 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-18 W
- 1 W = 1.0000e+18 aJ/s
- 10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-17 W
- 100 aJ/s = 1.0000e-16 W
How to Convert Attojoule/second to Watt
1 aJ/s = 1e-18 W
Example: convert 15 aJ/s to W:
15 aJ/s = 15 × 1e-18 W = 1.5e-17 W

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.
Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attojoule/second in watt?
1 attojoule/second (aJ/s) = 1.0000e-18 watt (W).
How do you convert attojoule/second to watt?
Multiply the attojoule/second value by 1.0000e-18. For example, 25 aJ/s × 1.0000e-18 = 2.5000e-17 W.
What is 10 attojoule/second in watt?
10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-17 W.
Which unit is larger, the attojoule/second or the watt?
The watt is the larger unit: 1 aJ/s equals only 1.0000e-18 W.
