What Is This Tool?
This online power unit converter helps transform values from millijoule per second (mJ/s), a unit used for very small-scale power, into terajoule per second (TJ/s), a unit representing extremely large power flows. It supports users in fields ranging from electronics and laboratory experiments to national energy grid analysis.

-
1000 millijoules per second equals 1 × 10^-12 terajoule per second (1e-12 TJ/s)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying power consumption for low-power electronics such as sensors and wearables
-
Measuring output of low-power optical devices in lab settings
-
Relating microscale energy release rates to national or global power scales
-
Comparing total energy generation capacity across large-scale power grids
-
Using power data in high-level engineering and energy supply planning
Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember that millijoule/second represents very small power while terajoule/second indicates extremely large power levels
-
Use this conversion primarily for unit standardization or theoretical comparisons
-
Be mindful of the tiny values resulting from conversion due to the large difference in scale
-
Confirm unit selections carefully to ensure accurate energy or power calculations
Limitations
-
Conversions between these units often generate extremely small decimal numbers that can be impractical in routine contexts
-
This unit pair conversion is uncommon for everyday calculations because of the vast difference in magnitude
-
Typically intended for theoretical use or to standardize units across widely differing power scales
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does millijoule per second (mJ/s) measure?
-
It is a unit of power representing 0.001 joules per second, commonly used to specify low power consumption or energy flow in small electronics and lab devices.
-
What scale of power does terajoule per second (TJ/s) represent?
-
Terajoule per second measures extremely large power, equal to one trillion joules per second, often applied in analyzing large energy grids or massive power generation.
-
Why is converting between mJ/s and TJ/s challenging?
-
Because these units represent power levels that differ by 15 orders of magnitude, leading to very small converted values and limiting practical use to theoretical or planning contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Millijoule per second (mJ/s)
-
A unit of power equal to 0.001 joules per second, typically used to measure low power in electronics and experimental setups.
-
Terajoule per second (TJ/s)
-
A very large power unit representing one trillion joules transferred per second, equivalent to one terawatt.
-
Conversion rate
-
The factor used to translate a value from one unit to another; here, 1 mJ/s equals 1×10^-15 TJ/s.
