Convert watt to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert watt [W] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to watt.
1 W = 1e-06 MJ/s. To convert watt to megajoule/second, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MJ/s = 1000000 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 = 1e-06 MJ/s
- 1 MJ/s = 1000000 W
- 10 W = 1e-05 MJ/s
- 100 W = 0.0001 MJ/s
How to Convert Watt to Megajoule/second
1 W = 1e-06 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 W to MJ/s:
15 W = 15 × 1e-06 MJ/s = 1.5e-05 MJ/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.
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 watt in megajoule/second?
1 watt (W) = 1e-06 megajoule/second (MJ/s).
How do you convert watt to megajoule/second?
Multiply the watt value by 1e-06. For example, 25 W × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 MJ/s.
What is 10 watt in megajoule/second?
10 W = 1e-05 MJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the watt or the megajoule/second?
The megajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 W equals only 1e-06 MJ/s.
