Convert attowatt to petajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert attowatt [aW] to petajoule/second [PJ/s], or Convert petajoule/second to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-33 PJ/s. To convert attowatt to petajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-33; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PJ/s = 1.0000e+33 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-33 PJ/s
- 1 PJ/s = 1.0000e+33 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-32 PJ/s
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-31 PJ/s
How to Convert Attowatt to Petajoule/second
1 aW = 1e-33 PJ/s
Example: convert 15 aW to PJ/s:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-33 PJ/s = 1.5e-32 PJ/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.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in petajoule/second?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1.0000e-33 petajoule/second (PJ/s).
How do you convert attowatt to petajoule/second?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.0000e-33. For example, 25 aW × 1.0000e-33 = 2.5000e-32 PJ/s.
