Convert terawatt to picojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert terawatt [TW] to picojoule/second [pJ/s], or Convert picojoule/second to terawatt.
1 TW = 1.0000e+24 pJ/s. To convert terawatt to picojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+24; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pJ/s = 1.0000e-24 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 = 1.0000e+24 pJ/s
- 1 pJ/s = 1.0000e-24 TW
- 10 TW = 1.0000e+25 pJ/s
- 100 TW = 1.0000e+26 pJ/s
How to Convert Terawatt to Picojoule/second
1 TW = 1e+24 pJ/s
Example: convert 15 TW to pJ/s:
15 TW = 15 × 1e+24 pJ/s = 1.5e+25 pJ/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.
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.
