Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
