Convert terajoule/second to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert terajoule/second [TJ/s] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to terajoule/second.
1 TJ/s = 1.0000e+14 cW. To convert terajoule/second to centiwatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e+14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 1.0000e-14 TJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TJ/s = 1.0000e+14 cW
- 1 cW = 1.0000e-14 TJ/s
- 10 TJ/s = 1.0000e+15 cW
- 100 TJ/s = 1.0000e+16 cW
How to Convert Terajoule/second to Centiwatt
1 TJ/s = 100000000000000 cW
Example: convert 15 TJ/s to cW:
15 TJ/s = 15 × 100000000000000 cW = 1.5e+15 cW

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.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 terajoule/second in centiwatt?
1 terajoule/second (TJ/s) = 1.0000e+14 centiwatt (cW).
How do you convert terajoule/second to centiwatt?
