Convert petawatt to joule/minute
Please provide values below to convert petawatt [PW] to joule/minute [J/min], or Convert joule/minute to petawatt.
1 PW = 6.0000e+16 J/min. To convert petawatt to joule/minute, multiply the value by 6.0000e+16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/min = 1.6667e-17 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 = 6.0000e+16 J/min
- 1 J/min = 1.6667e-17 PW
- 10 PW = 6.0000e+17 J/min
- 100 PW = 6.0000e+18 J/min
How to Convert Petawatt to Joule/minute
1 PW = 5.99999988e+16 J/min
Example: convert 15 PW to J/min:
15 PW = 15 × 5.99999988e+16 J/min = 8.99999982e+17 J/min

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.
Joule/minute
Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.
History/Origin
The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.
Current Use
J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.
