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

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 terajoule/second in petawatt?
1 terajoule/second (TJ/s) = 0.001 petawatt (PW).
How do you convert terajoule/second to petawatt?
Multiply the terajoule/second value by 0.001. For example, 25 TJ/s × 0.001 = 0.025 PW.
What is 10 terajoule/second in petawatt?
10 TJ/s = 0.01 PW.
Which unit is larger, the terajoule/second or the petawatt?
The petawatt is the larger unit: 1 TJ/s equals only 0.001 PW.
