A petawatt (PW) is an SI unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, measuring very high rates of energy transfer.

What does dekajoule per second mean?

Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is an SI-derived unit equivalent to 10 joules per second or 10 watts, used for expressing power.

Why convert petawatts to dekajoule per second?

This conversion helps express extremely large power values in a smaller unit to allow comparisons with laboratory and household power scales.
