Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to volt ampere.
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Centijoule/second
1 V*A = 100 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 V*A to cJ/s:
15 V*A = 15 × 100 cJ/s = 1500 cJ/s

Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
