Convert joule/second to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert joule/second [J/s] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to joule/second.
How to Convert Joule/second to Kilojoule/second
1 J/s = 0.001 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 J/s to kJ/s:
15 J/s = 15 × 0.001 kJ/s = 0.015 kJ/s

Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
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.
