Convert joule/minute to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert joule/minute [J/min] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to joule/minute.
1 J/min = 1.6667e-17 PW. To convert joule/minute to petawatt, multiply the value by 1.6667e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 6.0000e+16 J/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 J/min = 1.6667e-17 PW
- 1 PW = 6.0000e+16 J/min
- 10 J/min = 1.6667e-16 PW
- 100 J/min = 1.6667e-15 PW
How to Convert Joule/minute to Petawatt
1 J/min = 1.6666667e-17 PW
Example: convert 15 J/min to PW:
15 J/min = 15 × 1.6666667e-17 PW = 2.50000005e-16 PW

Joule/minute
Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.
Current Use
J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
