Convert centijoule/second to watt
Please provide values below to convert centijoule/second [cJ/s] to watt [W], or Convert watt to centijoule/second.
1 cJ/s = 0.01 W. To convert centijoule/second to watt, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W = 100 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 = 0.01 W
- 1 W = 100 cJ/s
- 10 cJ/s = 0.1 W
- 100 cJ/s = 1 W
How to Convert Centijoule/second to Watt
1 cJ/s = 0.01 W
Example: convert 15 cJ/s to W:
15 cJ/s = 15 × 0.01 W = 0.15 W

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.
Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centijoule/second in watt?
1 centijoule/second (cJ/s) = 0.01 watt (W).
How do you convert centijoule/second to watt?
Multiply the centijoule/second value by 0.01. For example, 25 cJ/s × 0.01 = 0.25 W.
What is 10 centijoule/second in watt?
10 cJ/s = 0.1 W.
Which unit is larger, the centijoule/second or the watt?
The watt is the larger unit: 1 cJ/s equals only 0.01 W.
