Convert attowatt to microjoule/second
Please provide values below to convert attowatt [aW] to microjoule/second [µJ/s], or Convert microjoule/second to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-12 µJ/s. To convert attowatt to microjoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µJ/s = 1e+12 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-12 µJ/s
- 1 µJ/s = 1e+12 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-11 µJ/s
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-10 µJ/s
How to Convert Attowatt to Microjoule/second
1 aW = 1e-12 µJ/s
Example: convert 15 aW to µJ/s:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-12 µJ/s = 1.5e-11 µJ/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.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in microjoule/second?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1.0000e-12 microjoule/second (µJ/s).
How do you convert attowatt to microjoule/second?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.0000e-12. For example, 25 aW × 1.0000e-12 = 2.5000e-11 µJ/s.
What is 10 attowatt in microjoule/second?
10 aW = 1.0000e-11 µJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the attowatt or the microjoule/second?
The microjoule/second is the larger unit: 1 aW equals only 1.0000e-12 µJ/s.
