Convert terawatt to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert terawatt [TW] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to terawatt.
1 TW = 1e+12 J/s. To convert terawatt to joule/second, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 1.0000e-12 TW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TW = 1e+12 J/s
- 1 J/s = 1.0000e-12 TW
- 10 TW = 1.0000e+13 J/s
- 100 TW = 1.0000e+14 J/s
How to Convert Terawatt to Joule/second
1 TW = 1000000000000 J/s
Example: convert 15 TW to J/s:
15 TW = 15 × 1000000000000 J/s = 15000000000000 J/s

Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 terawatt in joule/second?
1 terawatt (TW) = 1e+12 joule/second (J/s).
How do you convert terawatt to joule/second?
Multiply the terawatt value by 1e+12. For example, 25 TW × 1e+12 = 2.5000e+13 J/s.
What is 10 terawatt in joule/second?
10 TW = 1.0000e+13 J/s.
Which unit is larger, the terawatt or the joule/second?
The terawatt is the larger unit: 1 TW = 1e+12 J/s.
