Convert petajoule per second to watts
Petajoule per Second
The petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power equal to 10¹⁵ joules per second, equivalent to one petawatt (PW). This scale of power is relevant to global energy discussions, nuclear weapon detonations, and high-energy laser systems. One petajoule per second equals 10¹⁵ watts.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
