Convert kilowatt to microjoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to microjoule/second [µJ/s], or Convert microjoule/second to kilowatt.
1 kW = 1000000000 µJ/s. To convert kilowatt to microjoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µJ/s = 1e-09 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 = 1000000000 µJ/s
- 1 µJ/s = 1e-09 kW
- 10 kW = 10000000000 µJ/s
- 100 kW = 100000000000 µJ/s
How to Convert Kilowatt to Microjoule/second
1 kW = 1000000000 µJ/s
Example: convert 15 kW to µJ/s:
15 kW = 15 × 1000000000 µJ/s = 15000000000 µJ/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.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
