What is the relationship between watt and centijoule per second?

One watt equals one hundred centijoules per second, meaning 1 W = 100 cJ/s.

When should I use centijoule per second instead of watt?

Centijoule per second is preferred for expressing very small or low-level power measurements in scientific and engineering contexts.

Can I use this converter for large power values effectively?

Using centijoule per second for large power values is impractical due to resulting large numbers; it is mainly intended for small power ranges.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert power values from watt (W), the SI derived unit of power, to centijoule per second (cJ/s), which represents smaller power levels measured in hundredths of a joule per second. It is designed for applications requiring fine power measurement.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in watts into the input field
Select watt as the source unit and centijoule/second as the target unit
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power expressed in cJ/s
Use the result for your low-power measurement or reporting needs

Key Features

Converts power from watt to centijoule/second with a straightforward formula
Supports measurement of small steady power levels for electronics and scientific use
Browser-based and easy to use without installing software
Useful for low-power sensor, IoT node, and wearable device power readings

Examples

2 W equals 200 cJ/s by multiplying 2 by 100
0.5 W converts to 50 cJ/s by multiplying 0.5 by 100

Common Use Cases

Electrical device power ratings such as light bulbs and motors
Measurement of low-power sensor and IoT node consumption
Testing outputs from photodiodes, LEDs, and lab components
Evaluating harvested energy in micro-energy harvesting prototypes

Tips & Best Practices

Use centijoule/second units to clearly express very small power values
Ensure measurement tools have adequate precision at the cJ/s scale
Avoid using cJ/s for large power values to keep numerical results manageable
Double-check unit selections before conversions

Limitations

Centijoule/second is best suited for small power ranges, not large values
Using cJ/s for high power can result in large, hard-to-read numbers
Requires precise instruments to accurately measure power at the cJ/s level
