Common Use Cases
-
Defining power consumption of ultra-low-power microcontrollers and sensors.
-
Reporting optical power in highly sensitive photonics devices.
-
Expressing energy per operation rates for low-energy digital circuits as power.
-
Describing stellar luminosities and planetary energy budgets on large scales.
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify units before entering values to ensure correct conversion.
-
Use the tool to gain perspective by comparing tiny power levels with massive energy flows.
-
Consider the vast difference in scale when interpreting results between pJ/s and EJ/s.
-
Refer to examples to confirm conversions when working with extremely small numbers.
Limitations
-
The large scale difference leads to extremely small numbers in conversions, which can affect calculation precision.
-
Conversions between picojoule/second and exajoule/second are generally for scale comparison rather than direct practical interchange.
-
Precision and rounding issues may arise due to the drastic difference in magnitudes.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does picojoule per second measure?
-
Picojoule per second measures very small continuous power often used in microelectronics and sensitive photonics applications, representing 10⁻¹² joules per second.
-
Why would I convert from picojoule/second to exajoule/second?
-
This conversion helps compare and relate extremely small power levels in microelectronics and photonics to very large energy flows found in planetary or stellar scale phenomena.
-
Are there any challenges with this unit conversion?
-
Yes, due to the vast difference in scale, the conversion results in extremely small numbers, which may cause precision or rounding difficulties.
