What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change power values expressed in gigajoule per second (GJ/s), a unit for very large power levels, into microjoule per second (µJ/s), which measures extremely small power quantities.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gigajoule per second you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as microjoule per second
-
Click convert to see the equivalent power in microjoule per second

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gigajoule per second measure?
-
Gigajoule per second is a power unit equal to one gigawatt, representing a very large rate of energy transfer or conversion.
-
When would I use microjoule per second?
-
Microjoule per second is useful for quantifying very small continuous power levels, such as those in low-power electronics or photonics.
-
Why convert from GJ/s to µJ/s?
-
Converting from gigajoule/second to microjoule/second helps analyze very large power values with respect to extremely small power units, useful for precise control in microscale applications.
Key Terminology
-
Gigajoule per second (GJ/s)
-
A unit of power equaling 10⁹ joules per second, or one gigawatt, used to describe very large power rates.
-
Microjoule per second (µJ/s)
-
A power unit equal to one microjoule transferred per second, or 10⁻⁶ watts, measuring very small continuous power.
