Convert calorie (IT)/second to attowatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 4.1868e+21 aW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to attowatt, multiply the value by 4.1868e+21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aW = 2.3885e-22 cal/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 cal/s = 4.1868e+21 aW
- 1 aW = 2.3885e-22 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 4.1868e+22 aW
- 100 cal/s = 4.1868e+23 aW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Attowatt

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
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.
