Convert femtojoule/second to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert femtojoule/second [fJ/s] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to femtojoule/second.
1 fJ/s = 1.0000e-30 PW. To convert femtojoule/second to petawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 1.0000e+30 fJ/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 fJ/s = 1.0000e-30 PW
- 1 PW = 1.0000e+30 fJ/s
- 10 fJ/s = 1.0000e-29 PW
- 100 fJ/s = 1.0000e-28 PW
How to Convert Femtojoule/second to Petawatt
1 fJ/s = 1e-30 PW
Example: convert 15 fJ/s to PW:
15 fJ/s = 15 × 1e-30 PW = 1.5e-29 PW

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.
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.
