Convert hectojoule/second to femtowatt
Please provide values below to convert hectojoule/second [hJ/s] to femtowatt [fW], or Convert femtowatt to hectojoule/second.
1 hJ/s = 1.0000e+17 fW. To convert hectojoule/second to femtowatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fW = 1.0000e-17 hJ/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 hJ/s = 1.0000e+17 fW
- 1 fW = 1.0000e-17 hJ/s
- 10 hJ/s = 1.0000e+18 fW
- 100 hJ/s = 1.0000e+19 fW
How to Convert Hectojoule/second to Femtowatt
1 hJ/s = 1e+17 fW
Example: convert 15 hJ/s to fW:
15 hJ/s = 15 × 1e+17 fW = 1.5e+18 fW

Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
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.
