What is an attonewton?

An attonewton (aN) is an SI unit representing extremely small forces, equal to 10⁻¹⁸ newtons, often used in atomic and molecular physics.

What is the conversion rate between attonewtons and centinewtons?

One attonewton equals 1e-16 centinewtons, reflecting the vast difference in scale between these units.

What Is This Tool?

This tool helps you convert force values from attonewtons, used to measure ultra-small atomic-scale forces, to centinewtons, a unit more suitable for small but measurable forces in practical applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in attonewtons you want to convert.
Select attonewton as the source unit and centinewton as the target unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent force value in centinewtons.

Key Features

Converts attonewton (aN) to centinewton (cN) using a direct conversion formula.
Handles extremely small force measurements relevant to physics and engineering.
Provides practical force unit conversion bridging atomic-scale and macroscopic scales.

Examples

Convert 5 aN to centinewtons: 5 aN equals 5 × 1e-16 cN, which is 5e-16 cN.
Convert 100 aN to centinewtons: 100 aN equals 100 × 1e-16 cN, which is 1e-14 cN.

Common Use Cases
