Convert dekawatt to femtojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert dekawatt [daW] to femtojoule/second [fJ/s], or Convert femtojoule/second to dekawatt.
How to Convert Dekawatt to Femtojoule/second
1 daW = 1e+16 fJ/s
Example: convert 15 daW to fJ/s:
15 daW = 15 × 1e+16 fJ/s = 1.5e+17 fJ/s

Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Femtojoule/second
A femtojoule per second (fJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one femtojoule (10^-15 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The femtojoule/second unit emerged with the development of high-precision measurements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, where extremely small energy transfer rates are relevant. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'femto' denoting 10^-15.
Current Use
The femtojoule/second is used in scientific research to quantify very small power levels, particularly in fields like nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular physics, where energy transfer rates are extremely low.
