Convert attowatt to gigajoule/second
Enter a value below to convert attowatt [aW] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert gigajoule/second to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-27 GJ/s. To convert attowatt to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 1.0000e+27 aW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Attowatt to Gigajoule/second: Quick Reference
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-27 GJ/s
- 1 GJ/s = 1.0000e+27 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-26 GJ/s
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-25 GJ/s
How to Convert Attowatt to Gigajoule/second
1 aW = 1e-27 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 aW to GJ/s:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-27 GJ/s = 1.5e-26 GJ/s

Attowatt: Definition and Use
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
Gigajoule/second: Definition and Use
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
Attowatt to Gigajoule/second: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in gigajoule/second?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1.0000e-27 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert attowatt to gigajoule/second?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.0000e-27. For example, 25 aW × 1.0000e-27 = 2.5000e-26 GJ/s.
