How to Convert Picojoule/second to Dekajoule/second
1 pJ/s = 1e-13 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 pJ/s to daJ/s:
15 pJ/s = 15 × 1e-13 daJ/s = 1.5e-12 daJ/s

Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
