Convert dekawatt to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert dekawatt [daW] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to dekawatt.
1 daW = 10 J/s. To convert dekawatt to joule/second, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 0.1 daW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daW = 10 J/s
- 1 J/s = 0.1 daW
- 10 daW = 100 J/s
- 100 daW = 1000 J/s
How to Convert Dekawatt to Joule/second
1 daW = 10 J/s
Example: convert 15 daW to J/s:
15 daW = 15 × 10 J/s = 150 J/s

Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 dekawatt in joule/second?
1 dekawatt (daW) = 10 joule/second (J/s).
How do you convert dekawatt to joule/second?
Multiply the dekawatt value by 10. For example, 25 daW × 10 = 250 J/s.
What is 10 dekawatt in joule/second?
10 daW = 100 J/s.
Which unit is larger, the dekawatt or the joule/second?
The dekawatt is the larger unit: 1 daW = 10 J/s.
