Convert microjoule/second to kilowatt
Please provide values below to convert microjoule/second [µJ/s] to kilowatt [kW], or Convert kilowatt to microjoule/second.
How to Convert Microjoule/second to Kilowatt
1 µJ/s = 1e-09 kW
Example: convert 15 µJ/s to kW:
15 µJ/s = 15 × 1e-09 kW = 1.5e-08 kW

Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
