Hectojoule/second
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.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
