Convert horsepower (electric) to nanojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (electric) [hp (electric)] to nanojoule/second [nJ/s], or Convert nanojoule/second to horsepower (electric).
How to Convert Horsepower (Electric) to Nanojoule/second
1 hp (electric) = 746000000000 nJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (electric) to nJ/s:
15 hp (electric) = 15 × 746000000000 nJ/s = 11190000000000 nJ/s

Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
