Convert centiwatt to nanojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to nanojoule/second [nJ/s], or Convert nanojoule/second to centiwatt.
How to Convert Centiwatt to Nanojoule/second
1 cW = 10000000 nJ/s
Example: convert 15 cW to nJ/s:
15 cW = 15 × 10000000 nJ/s = 150000000 nJ/s

Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
