Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
