Convert volt ampere to petajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to petajoule/second [PJ/s], or Convert petajoule/second to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 1.0000e-15 PJ/s. To convert volt ampere to petajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PJ/s = 1.0000e+15 V*A). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 V*A = 1.0000e-15 PJ/s
- 1 PJ/s = 1.0000e+15 V*A
- 10 V*A = 1.0000e-14 PJ/s
- 100 V*A = 1.0000e-13 PJ/s
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Petajoule/second
1 V*A = 1e-15 PJ/s
Example: convert 15 V*A to PJ/s:
15 V*A = 15 × 1e-15 PJ/s = 1.5e-14 PJ/s

Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 volt ampere in petajoule/second?
1 volt ampere (V*A) = 1.0000e-15 petajoule/second (PJ/s).
How do you convert volt ampere to petajoule/second?
Multiply the volt ampere value by 1.0000e-15. For example, 25 V*A × 1.0000e-15 = 2.5000e-14 PJ/s.
What is 10 volt ampere in petajoule/second?
10 V*A = 1.0000e-14 PJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the volt ampere or the petajoule/second?
The petajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 V*A equals only 1.0000e-15 PJ/s.
