Convert watt to microjoule/second
Please provide values below to convert watt [W] to microjoule/second [µJ/s], or Convert microjoule/second to watt.
How to Convert Watt to Microjoule/second
1 W = 1000000 µJ/s
Example: convert 15 W to µJ/s:
15 W = 15 × 1000000 µJ/s = 15000000 µJ/s

Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
