Convert petawatt to picojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert petawatt [PW] to picojoule/second [pJ/s], or Convert picojoule/second to petawatt.
1 PW = 1.0000e+27 pJ/s. To convert petawatt to picojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pJ/s = 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 pJ/s
- 1 pJ/s = 1.0000e-27 PW
- 10 PW = 1.0000e+28 pJ/s
- 100 PW = 1.0000e+29 pJ/s
How to Convert Petawatt to Picojoule/second
1 PW = 1e+27 pJ/s
Example: convert 15 PW to pJ/s:
15 PW = 15 × 1e+27 pJ/s = 1.5e+28 pJ/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.
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.
