Convert centiwatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to centiwatt.
1 cW = 1e-05 kJ/s. To convert centiwatt to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 100000 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 = 1e-05 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 100000 cW
- 10 cW = 0.0001 kJ/s
- 100 cW = 0.001 kJ/s
How to Convert Centiwatt to Kilojoule/second
1 cW = 1e-05 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 cW to kJ/s:
15 cW = 15 × 1e-05 kJ/s = 0.00015 kJ/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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centiwatt in kilojoule/second?
1 centiwatt (cW) = 1e-05 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert centiwatt to kilojoule/second?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 1e-05. For example, 25 cW × 1e-05 = 0.00025 kJ/s.
What is 10 centiwatt in kilojoule/second?
10 cW = 0.0001 kJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the centiwatt or the kilojoule/second?
The kilojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 cW equals only 1e-05 kJ/s.
