What are Kilowatt-second and Attojoule

Definition of Kilowatt-second

A kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy equivalent to one thousand watts of power applied for a duration of one second. It represents a specific quantity of energy delivered or consumed. As a measure of energy, it is commonly used in the context of electrical power usage and generation.

Definition of Attojoule

An attojoule (aJ) is a minuscule unit of energy in the metric system, equivalent to one quintillionth (10^-18) of a joule. This unit is used in scientific contexts where extremely small energy measurements are required, such as in molecular and atomic-scale processes.

Kilowatt-second to Attojoule Conversion Table

Kilowatt-second (kWs) Attojoule (aJ)
0.001 kWs 1e+15 aJ
0.01 kWs 1e+16 aJ
0.1 kWs 1e+17 aJ
1 kWs 1e+18 aJ
10 kWs 1e+19 aJ
50 kWs 5e+19 aJ
100 kWs 1e+20 aJ
500 kWs 5e+20 aJ
1000 kWs 1e+21 aJ
10000 kWs 1e+22 aJ

Conversion of Kilowatt-second to Attojoule

Example 1:
Convert 0.1 kWs to aJ:
0.1 kWs = 0.1 × 1e+18 aJ = 1e+17 aJ

Example 2:
Convert 2 kWs to aJ:
2 kWs = 2 × 1e+18 aJ = 2e+18 aJ

History of Kilowatt-second and Attojoule

The concept of converting Kilowatt-seconds to Attojoules reflects the need to bridge different scales of energy measurements. While the former is more familiar in everyday power usage contexts, the latter is crucial in the realms of particle physics and nanotechnology, where precise energy quantification is essential.
