Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one newton meter/second represent in power terms?
-
One newton meter/second equals one joule per second, which is the same as one watt.
-
When should I use attowatt as a unit?
-
Attowatt is used to represent extremely small power levels, particularly in scientific fields like nanoscale electronics and ultra-sensitive detectors.
-
Can I convert large mechanical power values into attowatt?
-
While possible, converting large mechanical powers to attowatt results in very large numbers that can be cumbersome to interpret.
Key Terminology
-
Newton meter/second
-
A unit of power equivalent to one joule per second or one watt, measuring the rate of doing work or transferring energy.
-
Attowatt [aW]
-
A unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, used for expressing extremely small rates of energy transfer or dissipation.
-
Power
-
The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, often measured in watts.
