Convert petawatt to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert petawatt [PW] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to petawatt.
1 PW = 0.001 EJ/s. To convert petawatt to exajoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EJ/s = 1000 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 = 0.001 EJ/s
- 1 EJ/s = 1000 PW
- 10 PW = 0.01 EJ/s
- 100 PW = 0.1 EJ/s
How to Convert Petawatt to Exajoule/second
1 PW = 0.001 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 PW to EJ/s:
15 PW = 15 × 0.001 EJ/s = 0.015 EJ/s

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.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 petawatt in exajoule/second?
1 petawatt (PW) = 0.001 exajoule/second (EJ/s).
How do you convert petawatt to exajoule/second?
Multiply the petawatt value by 0.001. For example, 25 PW × 0.001 = 0.025 EJ/s.
What is 10 petawatt in exajoule/second?
10 PW = 0.01 EJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the petawatt or the exajoule/second?
The exajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 PW equals only 0.001 EJ/s.
