Convert deciwatt to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to deciwatt.
1 dW = 1.0000e+17 aJ/s. To convert deciwatt to attojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-17 dW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dW = 1.0000e+17 aJ/s
- 1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-17 dW
- 10 dW = 1.0000e+18 aJ/s
- 100 dW = 1.0000e+19 aJ/s
How to Convert Deciwatt to Attojoule/second
1 dW = 1e+17 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 dW to aJ/s:
15 dW = 15 × 1e+17 aJ/s = 1.5e+18 aJ/s

Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
