Convert picojoule/second to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert picojoule/second [pJ/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to picojoule/second.
1 pJ/s = 1e-06 µW. To convert picojoule/second to microwatt, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 1000000 pJ/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 pJ/s = 1e-06 µW
- 1 µW = 1000000 pJ/s
- 10 pJ/s = 1e-05 µW
- 100 pJ/s = 0.0001 µW
How to Convert Picojoule/second to Microwatt
1 pJ/s = 1e-06 µW
Example: convert 15 pJ/s to µW:
15 pJ/s = 15 × 1e-06 µW = 1.5e-05 µW

Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picojoule/second in microwatt?
1 picojoule/second (pJ/s) = 1e-06 microwatt (µW).
How do you convert picojoule/second to microwatt?
Multiply the picojoule/second value by 1e-06. For example, 25 pJ/s × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 µW.
