Convert attowatt to volt ampere
Enter a value below to convert attowatt [aW] to volt ampere [V*A]. Reverse conversion: Convert volt ampere to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-18 V*A. To convert attowatt to volt ampere, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 V*A = 1.0000e+18 aW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Attowatt to Volt Ampere: Quick Reference
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-18 V*A
- 1 V*A = 1.0000e+18 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-17 V*A
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-16 V*A
How to Convert Attowatt to Volt Ampere
1 aW = 1e-18 V*A
Example: convert 15 aW to V*A:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-18 V*A = 1.5e-17 V*A

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.
Volt Ampere: Definition and Use
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
Attowatt to Volt Ampere: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in volt ampere?
