Convert picowatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to picowatt.
1 pW = 1.0000e-15 kJ/s. To convert picowatt to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1.0000e+15 pW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pW = 1.0000e-15 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 1.0000e+15 pW
- 10 pW = 1.0000e-14 kJ/s
- 100 pW = 1.0000e-13 kJ/s
How to Convert Picowatt to Kilojoule/second
1 pW = 1e-15 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 pW to kJ/s:
15 pW = 15 × 1e-15 kJ/s = 1.5e-14 kJ/s

Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picowatt in kilojoule/second?
1 picowatt (pW) = 1.0000e-15 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert picowatt to kilojoule/second?
Multiply the picowatt value by 1.0000e-15. For example, 25 pW × 1.0000e-15 = 2.5000e-14 kJ/s.
What is 10 picowatt in kilojoule/second?
10 pW = 1.0000e-14 kJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the picowatt or the kilojoule/second?
The kilojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 pW equals only 1.0000e-15 kJ/s.
