Convert megawatt to femtojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert megawatt [MW] to femtojoule/second [fJ/s], or Convert femtojoule/second to megawatt.
1 MW = 1.0000e+21 fJ/s. To convert megawatt to femtojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fJ/s = 1.0000e-21 MW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 MW = 1.0000e+21 fJ/s
- 1 fJ/s = 1.0000e-21 MW
- 10 MW = 1.0000e+22 fJ/s
- 100 MW = 1.0000e+23 fJ/s
How to Convert Megawatt to Femtojoule/second
1 MW = 1e+21 fJ/s
Example: convert 15 MW to fJ/s:
15 MW = 15 × 1e+21 fJ/s = 1.5e+22 fJ/s

Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
Femtojoule/second
A femtojoule per second (fJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one femtojoule (10^-15 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The femtojoule/second unit emerged with the development of high-precision measurements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, where extremely small energy transfer rates are relevant. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'femto' denoting 10^-15.
Current Use
The femtojoule/second is used in scientific research to quantify very small power levels, particularly in fields like nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular physics, where energy transfer rates are extremely low.
