Convert exawatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert exawatt [EW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to exawatt.
How to Convert Exawatt to Kilojoule/second
1 EW = 1e+15 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 EW to kJ/s:
15 EW = 15 × 1e+15 kJ/s = 1.5e+16 kJ/s

Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
