What does a femtowatt measure?

A femtowatt is an SI derived unit of power equal to 10⁻¹⁵ watt, used to quantify extremely low power levels typically found in sensitive measurement contexts.

Why convert femtowatts to joules per minute?

Converting to joules per minute helps express very low power levels in terms of energy transfer over a longer time scale, improving interpretability for minute-based measurements.

In which fields is this conversion important?

It is important in radio astronomy, photodetection, nanoscale electronics, calorimetry, and chemical energy release monitoring where precise low power measurement is essential.

Select 'femtowatt [fW]' as the input unit.
Choose 'joule/minute [J/min]' as the output unit.
Click convert to display the corresponding energy rate in joules per minute.

Key Features

Converts femtowatt (fW), an SI derived unit for ultra-low power, into joule per minute (J/min).
Handles very small power values for applications in nanoscale and sensitive measurement systems.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions without requiring formulas.
Supports understanding of power rates expressed over minute-scale time intervals.

Examples

Convert 10 femtowatts to joules per minute: 10 × 6e-14 equals 6e-13 J/min.
Convert 100 femtowatts to joules per minute: 100 × 6e-14 equals 6e-12 J/min.

Common Use Cases

Measuring received signal power or noise floors in radio astronomy and microwave systems.
Evaluating output or background power in ultra-sensitive photodetectors and single-photon counters.
Monitoring power dissipation in cryogenic, nanoscale, or ultra-low-power electronic devices.
Reporting heat release or energy release rates in small-scale calorimetry or chemical experiments over minutes.
Describing average power consumption of low-power sensors aggregated per minute.
Expressing mechanical work or heating energy delivery when minute-level rates are preferred.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate input of femtowatt values because the conversion reflects extremely small power levels.
Use this converter when minute-based energy averaging gives more intuitive interpretation than second-based units.
Apply the tool in contexts needing sensitive low-power measurement such as nanoscale electronics or photodetection.
Review converted values carefully since very small results may require sensitive instrumentation to validate.

Limitations

Conversions of femtowatts to joules per minute involve extremely small numbers that might be difficult to measure precisely.
Numerical precision is critical due to the tiny magnitude of femtowatt power values.
Specialized sensitive instruments are often necessary to accurately capture these minute-level power conversions.
