Convert centiwatt to femtojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to femtojoule/second [fJ/s], or Convert femtojoule/second to centiwatt.
1 cW = 1.0000e+13 fJ/s. To convert centiwatt to femtojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fJ/s = 1.0000e-13 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 = 1.0000e+13 fJ/s
- 1 fJ/s = 1.0000e-13 cW
- 10 cW = 1.0000e+14 fJ/s
- 100 cW = 1.0000e+15 fJ/s
How to Convert Centiwatt to Femtojoule/second
1 cW = 10000000000000 fJ/s
Example: convert 15 cW to fJ/s:
15 cW = 15 × 10000000000000 fJ/s = 150000000000000 fJ/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.
Femtojoule/second
A femtojoule per second (fJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one femtojoule (10^-15 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The femtojoule/second unit emerged with the development of high-precision measurements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, where extremely small energy transfer rates are relevant. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'femto' denoting 10^-15.
Current Use
The femtojoule/second is used in scientific research to quantify very small power levels, particularly in fields like nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular physics, where energy transfer rates are extremely low.
