Convert attowatt to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert attowatt [aW] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-18 J/s. To convert attowatt to joule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 1.0000e+18 aW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-18 J/s
- 1 J/s = 1.0000e+18 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-17 J/s
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-16 J/s
How to Convert Attowatt to Joule/second
1 aW = 1e-18 J/s
Example: convert 15 aW to J/s:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-18 J/s = 1.5e-17 J/s

Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in joule/second?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1.0000e-18 joule/second (J/s).
How do you convert attowatt to joule/second?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.0000e-18. For example, 25 aW × 1.0000e-18 = 2.5000e-17 J/s.
What is 10 attowatt in joule/second?
10 aW = 1.0000e-17 J/s.
Which unit is larger, the attowatt or the joule/second?
The joule/second is the larger unit: 1 aW equals only 1.0000e-18 J/s.
