Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Joule/hour
A joule per hour (J/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy (in joules) transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The joule per hour has been used as a measure of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over longer periods. It is derived from the SI unit of energy, the joule, divided by time in hours.
Current Use
Joule per hour is occasionally used in fields like heating, energy consumption, and industrial processes to quantify power over extended durations, though it is less common than watts for standard power measurements.
