Convert gigajoule/second to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert gigajoule/second [GJ/s] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to gigajoule/second.
1 GJ/s = 1.0000e+27 aJ/s. To convert gigajoule/second to attojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-27 GJ/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 GJ/s = 1.0000e+27 aJ/s
- 1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-27 GJ/s
- 10 GJ/s = 1.0000e+28 aJ/s
- 100 GJ/s = 1.0000e+29 aJ/s
How to Convert Gigajoule/second to Attojoule/second
1 GJ/s = 1e+27 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 GJ/s to aJ/s:
15 GJ/s = 15 × 1e+27 aJ/s = 1.5e+28 aJ/s

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.
Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
