Convert picowatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to picowatt.
How to Convert Picowatt to Centijoule/second
1 pW = 1e-10 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 pW to cJ/s:
15 pW = 15 × 1e-10 cJ/s = 1.5e-09 cJ/s

Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
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.
