Convert exajoule/second to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert exajoule/second [EJ/s] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to exajoule/second.
1 EJ/s = 1000 PW. To convert exajoule/second to petawatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 0.001 EJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 EJ/s = 1000 PW
- 1 PW = 0.001 EJ/s
- 10 EJ/s = 10000 PW
- 100 EJ/s = 100000 PW
How to Convert Exajoule/second to Petawatt
1 EJ/s = 1000 PW
Example: convert 15 EJ/s to PW:
15 EJ/s = 15 × 1000 PW = 15000 PW

Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 exajoule/second in petawatt?
