Convert microwatt to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert microwatt [µW] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to microwatt.
1 µW = 1.0000e-12 MJ/s. To convert microwatt to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 1e+12 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-12 MJ/s
- 1 MJ/s = 1e+12 µW
- 10 µW = 1.0000e-11 MJ/s
- 100 µW = 1.0000e-10 MJ/s
How to Convert Microwatt to Megajoule/second
1 µW = 1e-12 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 µW to MJ/s:
15 µW = 15 × 1e-12 MJ/s = 1.5e-11 MJ/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.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 microwatt in megajoule/second?
1 microwatt (µW) = 1.0000e-12 megajoule/second (MJ/s).
How do you convert microwatt to megajoule/second?
Multiply the microwatt value by 1.0000e-12. For example, 25 µW × 1.0000e-12 = 2.5000e-11 MJ/s.
What is 10 microwatt in megajoule/second?
10 µW = 1.0000e-11 MJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the microwatt or the megajoule/second?
The megajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 µW equals only 1.0000e-12 MJ/s.
