Convert centijoule/second to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert centijoule/second [cJ/s] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to centijoule/second.
1 cJ/s = 1.0000e-17 PW. To convert centijoule/second to petawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 1.0000e+17 cJ/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 cJ/s = 1.0000e-17 PW
- 1 PW = 1.0000e+17 cJ/s
- 10 cJ/s = 1.0000e-16 PW
- 100 cJ/s = 1.0000e-15 PW
How to Convert Centijoule/second to Petawatt
1 cJ/s = 1e-17 PW
Example: convert 15 cJ/s to PW:
15 cJ/s = 15 × 1e-17 PW = 1.5e-16 PW

Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centijoule/second in petawatt?
1 centijoule/second (cJ/s) = 1.0000e-17 petawatt (PW).
How do you convert centijoule/second to petawatt?
