Convert microwatt to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert microwatt [µW] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to microwatt.
How to Convert Microwatt to Attojoule/second
1 µW = 1000000000000 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 µW to aJ/s:
15 µW = 15 × 1000000000000 aJ/s = 15000000000000 aJ/s

Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
