Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) 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 units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
