Convert femtowatt to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert femtowatt [fW] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to femtowatt.
1 fW = 1.0000e-24 GJ/s. To convert femtowatt to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-24; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 1.0000e+24 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-24 GJ/s
- 1 GJ/s = 1.0000e+24 fW
- 10 fW = 1.0000e-23 GJ/s
- 100 fW = 1.0000e-22 GJ/s
How to Convert Femtowatt to Gigajoule/second
1 fW = 1e-24 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 fW to GJ/s:
15 fW = 15 × 1e-24 GJ/s = 1.5e-23 GJ/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.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtowatt in gigajoule/second?
1 femtowatt (fW) = 1.0000e-24 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert femtowatt to gigajoule/second?
Multiply the femtowatt value by 1.0000e-24. For example, 25 fW × 1.0000e-24 = 2.5000e-23 GJ/s.
What is 10 femtowatt in gigajoule/second?
10 fW = 1.0000e-23 GJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the femtowatt or the gigajoule/second?
The gigajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 fW equals only 1.0000e-24 GJ/s.
