Convert joule/second to petajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to petajoule/second [PJ/s], or Convert petajoule/second to joule/second.
1 J/s = 1.0000e-15 PJ/s. To convert joule/second to petajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PJ/s = 1.0000e+15 J/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 J/s = 1.0000e-15 PJ/s
- 1 PJ/s = 1.0000e+15 J/s
- 10 J/s = 1.0000e-14 PJ/s
- 100 J/s = 1.0000e-13 PJ/s
How to Convert Joule/second to Petajoule/second
1 J/s = 1e-15 PJ/s
Example: convert 15 J/s to PJ/s:
15 J/s = 15 × 1e-15 PJ/s = 1.5e-14 PJ/s

Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 joule/second in petajoule/second?
1 joule/second (J/s) = 1.0000e-15 petajoule/second (PJ/s).
How do you convert joule/second to petajoule/second?
Multiply the joule/second value by 1.0000e-15. For example, 25 J/s × 1.0000e-15 = 2.5000e-14 PJ/s.
What is 10 joule/second in petajoule/second?
10 J/s = 1.0000e-14 PJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the joule/second or the petajoule/second?
The petajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 J/s equals only 1.0000e-15 PJ/s.
