Convert kilowatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to kilowatt.
1 kW = 100000 cJ/s. To convert kilowatt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 100000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 1e-05 kW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kW = 100000 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 1e-05 kW
- 10 kW = 1000000 cJ/s
- 100 kW = 10000000 cJ/s
How to Convert Kilowatt to Centijoule/second
1 kW = 100000 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 kW to cJ/s:
15 kW = 15 × 100000 cJ/s = 1500000 cJ/s

Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilowatt in centijoule/second?
1 kilowatt (kW) = 100000 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert kilowatt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the kilowatt value by 100000. For example, 25 kW × 100000 = 2500000 cJ/s.
What is 10 kilowatt in centijoule/second?
10 kW = 1000000 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the kilowatt or the centijoule/second?
The kilowatt is the larger unit: 1 kW = 100000 cJ/s.
