What does 1 kilowatt equal in petajoule per second?

1 kilowatt equals 1e-12 petajoule per second, reflecting the large scale difference between these units.

When should I use this kilowatt to petajoule/second converter?

Use it for converting typical electrical power ratings to extremely large-scale power flows, useful in fields like energy policy analysis and astrophysics.

Is this conversion useful for everyday appliance power ratings?

Due to the huge difference in scale, the converted numbers are very small and may not be practical for daily appliance power measurement.

What Is This Tool?

This online unit converter transforms power values from kilowatts, a common measurement for electrical appliances and equipment, into petajoule per second, a unit used for describing extremely large power flows such as national or planetary energy scales.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in kilowatts that you want to convert.
Select kilowatt [kW] as the input unit and petajoule/second [PJ/s] as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in petajoule per second.
Use the results for comparing or aggregating extremely large power values.

Key Features

Converts power units from kilowatt (kW) to petajoule per second (PJ/s).
Based on the exact conversion rate: 1 kW equals 1e-12 PJ/s.
Supports translating common electrical power into very large-scale energy flows.
Ideal for applications in national energy analysis and astrophysical energy assessments.
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.

Examples

1 kilowatt converts to 0.000000000001 PJ/s.
5,000 kilowatts converts to 5e-9 PJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Rating power consumption of household electrical appliances and motors in kilowatts.
Expressing combined output of multiple power plants at national or continental levels.
Planning and analyzing large infrastructure and electrical grid capacities.
Astrophysical calculations like total solar energy intercepted by a planet.
Comparing large-scale power flow measurements in energy policy and management.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values are in the correct unit of kilowatts for accurate conversion.
Take note of the extremely small converted values due to large unit scale difference.
Use the conversion results primarily for high-level energy planning or research.
Double-check results when applying conversions in practical engineering contexts.

Limitations

The vast scale difference makes converted values very small, limiting everyday use.
Not suitable for practical power assessments at appliance or household scale.
Requires careful attention to unit magnitudes when interpreting results.

Key Terminology

Kilowatt [kW]: A derived SI unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, measuring the rate of energy transfer or conversion in applications like electrical and mechanical power.
Petajoule per second [PJ/s]: A unit of power equal to 10^15 joules per second, used for describing extremely large power flows such as continental or planetary energy budgets.

Quick Knowledge Check

What is the definition of a kilowatt (kW)?

A unit of energy measuring total heat.

A unit of power equal to 1,000 watts.

A unit measuring electric charge.

What scale of power does petajoule/second (PJ/s) measure?

Small-scale household appliance power.

Very large-scale power flows like national or planetary energy.

Moderate power from typical vehicles.

Why might converted kilowatt values to PJ/s be very small?

Because petajoule/second is a much larger unit of power.

Because kilowatts are larger units than PJ/s.

Because the conversion formula reduces values incorrectly.
