Convert joule/second to volt ampere
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to volt ampere [V*A], or Convert volt ampere to joule/second.
1 J/s = 1 V*A. To convert joule/second to volt ampere, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 V*A = 1 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 V*A
- 1 V*A = 1 J/s
- 10 J/s = 10 V*A
- 100 J/s = 100 V*A
How to Convert Joule/second to Volt Ampere
1 J/s = 1 V*A
Example: convert 15 J/s to V*A:
15 J/s = 15 × 1 V*A = 15 V*A

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.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 joule/second in volt ampere?
1 joule/second (J/s) = 1 volt ampere (V*A).
How do you convert joule/second to volt ampere?
Multiply the joule/second value by 1. For example, 25 J/s × 1 = 25 V*A.
What is 10 joule/second in volt ampere?
10 J/s = 10 V*A.
Which unit is larger, the joule/second or the volt ampere?
The volt ampere is the larger unit: 1 J/s equals only 1 V*A.
