Convert nanowatt to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to nanowatt.
How to Convert Nanowatt to Joule/second
1 nW = 1e-09 J/s
Example: convert 15 nW to J/s:
15 nW = 15 × 1e-09 J/s = 1.5e-08 J/s

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/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
