Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
