Converting from Joule per Second (J/s) to Watt (W) | Power

What is Joule per Second (J/s)

Joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. It is commonly used to measure the power consumption of electrical devices.

What is Watt (W)

Watt (W) is the standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion per unit time. One watt is equivalent to one joule per second.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Joule per Second (J/s) and Watt (W) is straightforward as they are equivalent units:

1(J/s)=1(W)

For other conversions:

• 3 (J/s) = 3 (W)
• 11 (J/s) = 11 (W)
• 13 (J/s) = 13 (W)

Examples

1. Convert 5 J/s to W:

5(J/s)=5(W)

2. Convert 8 W to J/s:

8(W)=8(J/s)

3. Convert 20 J/s to W:

20(J/s)=20(W)

In practical terms, understanding the conversion between J/s and W is essential for determining power requirements and energy consumption in various applications.
