Converting from Joule (J) to Watt second (W s) | Energy

What is Joule (J)

Joule (J) is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule. Joule is a derived unit that represents the amount of work done or energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter.

What is Watt second (W s)

Watt second (W s) is another unit of energy that is equivalent to a joule. It is a combination of power (watt) and time (second), where one watt second is equal to one joule. This unit is commonly used to measure electrical energy in circuits and systems.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Joule (J) and Watt second (W s) is straightforward due to their direct relationship. The default conversion rate is:

1(J)=1(Ws)

Other common conversions include:

• 5 (J) = 5 (W s)
• 7 (J) = 7 (W s)
• 2 (J) = 2 (W s)

Examples

1. Converting 10 Joules to Watt seconds:

10(J)=10(Ws)

2. Converting 3 Watt seconds to Joules:

3(Ws)=3(J)

By understanding the relationship between Joules and Watt seconds, you can seamlessly convert between these energy units in various contexts.
