Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to newton meter [N*m], or Convert newton meter to attojoule.
How to Convert Attojoule to Newton Meter
1 aJ = 1e-18 N*m
Example: convert 15 aJ to N*m:
15 aJ = 15 × 1e-18 N*m = 1.5e-17 N*m

Attojoule
An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules.
History/Origin
The attojoule was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of energy, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and quantum physics, as the need to quantify very tiny energy scales grew.
Current Use
The attojoule is used in scientific research to measure minute energy quantities, such as in nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular biology, where energies involved are extremely small.
Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
