Convert femtowatt to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert femtowatt [fW] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to femtowatt.
1 fW = 1.0000e-27 TW. To convert femtowatt to terawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 1.0000e+27 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-27 TW
- 1 TW = 1.0000e+27 fW
- 10 fW = 1.0000e-26 TW
- 100 fW = 1.0000e-25 TW
How to Convert Femtowatt to Terawatt
1 fW = 1e-27 TW
Example: convert 15 fW to TW:
15 fW = 15 × 1e-27 TW = 1.5e-26 TW

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.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
