What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you change power values expressed in joule per minute (J/min) into millijoule per second (mJ/s). Such conversion is important when dealing with energy transfer rates averaged over minutes that need to be represented on a second-based scale, common in low-power and laboratory contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the power value in joule per minute (J/min) you want to convert
-
Select 'joule/minute [J/min]' as the from-unit and 'millijoule/second [mJ/s]' as the to-unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent power in millijoule per second
-
Use the conversion result for detailed analysis or reporting in relevant fields
Key Features
-
Converts power units from joule per minute to millijoule per second accurately
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Supports applications in chemical, biochemical, and low-power electronics fields
-
Allows translation of minute-scale power rates into finer second-scale units
Examples
-
2 J/min equals 33.3333333334 mJ/s by multiplying 2 by 16.6666666667
-
0.5 J/min equals 8.33333333335 mJ/s calculated by multiplying 0.5 by 16.6666666667
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting energy release rates in small-scale calorimetry over minutes
-
Describing average power consumption of low-power sensors aggregated per minute
-
Measuring optical power of low-power LEDs or laboratory lasers
-
Analyzing microscale thermal or biochemical energy transfer rates
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure power input assumes steady rate over the minute interval for best accuracy
-
Use this converter when you need to translate minute-averaged power into per-second units
-
Compare conversions carefully when integrating with watt-based equipment or data
-
Review the output for rounding effects when using very precise measurements
Limitations
-
Assumes power remains constant over the time interval; variations affect results
-
Result precision may be limited by rounding the conversion factor
-
Joule per minute units are uncommon in standard electrical engineering, requiring caution during integration with watt-scale data
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from joule/minute to millijoule/second?

This conversion lets you express power measured over minutes into smaller time intervals, enabling more detailed analysis and comparison with data in milliwatts or millijoules per second.
-
What is the conversion factor between J/min and mJ/s?
-
One joule per minute is equivalent to 16.6666666667 millijoule per second.
-
In which fields is this conversion commonly applied?
-
It is used in chemical and biochemical research, calorimetry, low-power electronics design, sensor technology, microscale thermal measurement, and laboratory optics involving LEDs and lasers.
Key Terminology
-
joule per minute [J/min]
-
A power unit measuring energy transfer rate per minute; equal to 1/60 watt, often used for averaging power over minutes.
-
millijoule per second [mJ/s]
-
A power unit equal to 0.001 joules per second or 0.001 watt (1 milliwatt), suitable for describing low-power energy transfer rates.
-
power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred, converted, or dissipated over time.
