Convert centiwatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to centiwatt.
1 cW = 1 cJ/s. To convert centiwatt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 1 cW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cW = 1 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 1 cW
- 10 cW = 10 cJ/s
- 100 cW = 100 cJ/s
How to Convert Centiwatt to Centijoule/second
1 cW = 1 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 cW to cJ/s:
15 cW = 15 × 1 cJ/s = 15 cJ/s

Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centiwatt in centijoule/second?
1 centiwatt (cW) = 1 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert centiwatt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 1. For example, 25 cW × 1 = 25 cJ/s.
What is 10 centiwatt in centijoule/second?
10 cW = 10 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the centiwatt or the centijoule/second?
The centijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 cW equals only 1 cJ/s.
