Convert attowatt to hectojoule/second
Enter a value below to convert attowatt [aW] to hectojoule/second [hJ/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert hectojoule/second to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-20 hJ/s. To convert attowatt to hectojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-20; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hJ/s = 1.0000e+20 aW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Attowatt to Hectojoule/second: Quick Reference
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-20 hJ/s
- 1 hJ/s = 1.0000e+20 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-19 hJ/s
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-18 hJ/s
How to Convert Attowatt to Hectojoule/second
1 aW = 1e-20 hJ/s
Example: convert 15 aW to hJ/s:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-20 hJ/s = 1.5e-19 hJ/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.
Hectojoule/second: Definition and Use
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
Attowatt to Hectojoule/second: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in hectojoule/second?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1.0000e-20 hectojoule/second (hJ/s).
How do you convert attowatt to hectojoule/second?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.0000e-20. For example, 25 aW × 1.0000e-20 = 2.5000e-19 hJ/s.
What is 10 attowatt in hectojoule/second?
10 aW = 1.0000e-19 hJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the attowatt or the hectojoule/second?
The hectojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 aW equals only 1.0000e-20 hJ/s.
