Convert watt to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert watt [W] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to watt.
1 W = 1.0000e-12 TJ/s. To convert watt to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 1e+12 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 = 1.0000e-12 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 1e+12 W
- 10 W = 1.0000e-11 TJ/s
- 100 W = 1.0000e-10 TJ/s
How to Convert Watt to Terajoule/second
1 W = 1e-12 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 W to TJ/s:
15 W = 15 × 1e-12 TJ/s = 1.5e-11 TJ/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.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 watt in terajoule/second?
1 watt (W) = 1.0000e-12 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert watt to terajoule/second?
Multiply the watt value by 1.0000e-12. For example, 25 W × 1.0000e-12 = 2.5000e-11 TJ/s.
What is 10 watt in terajoule/second?
10 W = 1.0000e-11 TJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the watt or the terajoule/second?
The terajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 W equals only 1.0000e-12 TJ/s.
