What are Joule and Petagray

Definition of Joule

The Joule is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. Named after James Prescott Joule, it measures the energy transferred or work done when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. Equivalently, it is the energy expended when an electrical current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. This versatile unit is pivotal in various scientific disciplines, from physics to chemistry, representing energy, heat, and work.

Definition of Petagray

The Petagray (PGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units, representing a quintillion (10^15) grays. In radiation physics, it quantifies the energy absorbed per unit mass of a material. One gray equals one joule per kilogram, thus one petagray equals one petajoule per kilogram. It is primarily used in contexts involving extremely high radiation doses, such as in theoretical astrophysics or high-energy particle physics, where understanding the energy deposition in matter is crucial.

100,000 J/kg/s 1e-10 PGy/s
1,000,000 J/kg/s 1e-9 PGy/s
10,000,000 J/kg/s 1e-8 PGy/s
100,000,000 J/kg/s 1e-7 PGy/s
1,000,000,000 J/kg/s 1e-6 PGy/s

Conversion of Joule to Petagray

1 J/kg/s = 1e-15 PGy/s
1 PGy/s = 1e15 J/kg/s

Example 1:
Convert 5 J/kg/s to PGy/s:
5 J/kg/s = 5 × 1e-15 PGy/s = 5e-15 PGy/s

Example 2:
Convert 3.5 J/kg/s to PGy/s:
3.5 J/kg/s = 3.5 × 1e-15 PGy/s = 3.5e-15 PGy/s

History of Joule and Petagray

The Joule/kilogram/second to Petagray/second Converter emerged from the need to accurately translate between units measuring energy deposition in materials. While the joule per kilogram per second is pivotal in thermodynamics, the petagray per second serves the radiation physics domain. This convergence of disciplines spurred the development of a tool that bridges the gap, advancing both theoretical research and practical applications. The converter simplifies complex calculations, making it indispensable for scientists and engineers working with energy and radiation.
