Convert joule/second to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to joule/second.
1 J/s = 1000000 µW. To convert joule/second to microwatt, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 1e-06 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 = 1000000 µW
- 1 µW = 1e-06 J/s
- 10 J/s = 10000000 µW
- 100 J/s = 100000000 µW
How to Convert Joule/second to Microwatt
1 J/s = 1000000 µW
Example: convert 15 J/s to µW:
15 J/s = 15 × 1000000 µW = 15000000 µW

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.
Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
