This guide helps you understand how to convert joules per second (J/s) to watts (W). Both joules per second and watts are units of power, and understanding this conversion is essential in physics and engineering contexts where energy transfer is analyzed.

1 joule per second is equivalent to exactly 1 watt. This simple conversion makes it easier to work with energy and power calculations.

The conversion formula from joules per second to watts is straightforward:

Watts (W) = Joules per Second (J/s)

For example, if you have 10 joules per second, the conversion to watts would be:

Watts = 10 J/s = 10 W

To convert joules per second (J/s) to watts (W), simply recognize that the units are equal. Thus, the numerical value remains the same.

Watts (W) = Joules per Second (J/s)

Let’s convert 50 joules per second to watts:

50 J/s = 50 W

Therefore, 50 joules per second is equal to 50 watts.
