Convert petawatt to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert petawatt [PW] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to petawatt.
1 PW = 1000 TJ/s. To convert petawatt to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 0.001 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 = 1000 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 0.001 PW
- 10 PW = 10000 TJ/s
- 100 PW = 100000 TJ/s
How to Convert Petawatt to Terajoule/second
1 PW = 1000 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 PW to TJ/s:
15 PW = 15 × 1000 TJ/s = 15000 TJ/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.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
