Convert picowatt to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to picowatt.
1 pW = 1.0000e-27 PW. To convert picowatt to petawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 1.0000e+27 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-27 PW
- 1 PW = 1.0000e+27 pW
- 10 pW = 1.0000e-26 PW
- 100 pW = 1.0000e-25 PW
How to Convert Picowatt to Petawatt
1 pW = 1e-27 PW
Example: convert 15 pW to PW:
15 pW = 15 × 1e-27 PW = 1.5e-26 PW

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.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picowatt in petawatt?
1 picowatt (pW) = 1.0000e-27 petawatt (PW).
How do you convert picowatt to petawatt?
Multiply the picowatt value by 1.0000e-27. For example, 25 pW × 1.0000e-27 = 2.5000e-26 PW.
