Convert nanowatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to nanowatt.
How to Convert Nanowatt to Kilojoule/second
1 nW = 1e-12 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 nW to kJ/s:
15 nW = 15 × 1e-12 kJ/s = 1.5e-11 kJ/s

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
