Convert femtowatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert femtowatt [fW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to femtowatt.
1 fW = 1.0000e-13 cJ/s. To convert femtowatt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 1.0000e+13 fW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fW = 1.0000e-13 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 1.0000e+13 fW
- 10 fW = 1.0000e-12 cJ/s
- 100 fW = 1.0000e-11 cJ/s
How to Convert Femtowatt to Centijoule/second
1 fW = 1e-13 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 fW to cJ/s:
15 fW = 15 × 1e-13 cJ/s = 1.5e-12 cJ/s

Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtowatt in centijoule/second?
1 femtowatt (fW) = 1.0000e-13 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert femtowatt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the femtowatt value by 1.0000e-13. For example, 25 fW × 1.0000e-13 = 2.5000e-12 cJ/s.
What is 10 femtowatt in centijoule/second?
10 fW = 1.0000e-12 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the femtowatt or the centijoule/second?
The centijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 fW equals only 1.0000e-13 cJ/s.
