Convert microwatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert microwatt [µW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to microwatt.
1 µW = 1.0000e-09 kJ/s. To convert microwatt to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1000000000 µW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µW = 1.0000e-09 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 1000000000 µW
- 10 µW = 1e-08 kJ/s
- 100 µW = 1e-07 kJ/s
How to Convert Microwatt to Kilojoule/second
1 µW = 1e-09 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 µW to kJ/s:
15 µW = 15 × 1e-09 kJ/s = 1.5e-08 kJ/s

Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 microwatt in kilojoule/second?
1 microwatt (µW) = 1.0000e-09 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert microwatt to kilojoule/second?
Multiply the microwatt value by 1.0000e-09. For example, 25 µW × 1.0000e-09 = 2.5e-08 kJ/s.
What is 10 microwatt in kilojoule/second?
10 µW = 1e-08 kJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the microwatt or the kilojoule/second?
The kilojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 µW equals only 1.0000e-09 kJ/s.
