Convert watt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert watt [W] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to watt.
1 W = 100 cJ/s. To convert watt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 0.01 W). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 W = 100 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 0.01 W
- 10 W = 1000 cJ/s
- 100 W = 10000 cJ/s
How to Convert Watt to Centijoule/second
1 W = 100 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 W to cJ/s:
15 W = 15 × 100 cJ/s = 1500 cJ/s

Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 watt in centijoule/second?
1 watt (W) = 100 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert watt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the watt value by 100. For example, 25 W × 100 = 2500 cJ/s.
What is 10 watt in centijoule/second?
10 W = 1000 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the watt or the centijoule/second?
The watt is the larger unit: 1 W = 100 cJ/s.
