Convert joule/second to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to joule/second.
1 J/s = 1e+12 pW. To convert joule/second to picowatt, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 1.0000e-12 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 = 1e+12 pW
- 1 pW = 1.0000e-12 J/s
- 10 J/s = 1.0000e+13 pW
- 100 J/s = 1.0000e+14 pW
How to Convert Joule/second to Picowatt
1 J/s = 1000000000000 pW
Example: convert 15 J/s to pW:
15 J/s = 15 × 1000000000000 pW = 15000000000000 pW

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.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 joule/second in picowatt?
1 joule/second (J/s) = 1e+12 picowatt (pW).
How do you convert joule/second to picowatt?
Multiply the joule/second value by 1e+12. For example, 25 J/s × 1e+12 = 2.5000e+13 pW.
What is 10 joule/second in picowatt?
10 J/s = 1.0000e+13 pW.
Which unit is larger, the joule/second or the picowatt?
The joule/second is the larger unit: 1 J/s = 1e+12 pW.
