Formula

Formula
W = J/s × 1

Multiply any value in joules per second by 1 to obtain the value in watts.

Worked example

Convert 1000 J/s to W.

  1. 01Start with 1000 J/s.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 1 = 1000 W.
Result1000 J/s = 1000 W

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from J/s to W?
1 J/s equals 1 W. To convert, multiply the value in joules per second by 1.
How do I convert 1 J/s to W?
1 J/s = 1 W. For any value, multiply by 1.
How do I convert W back to J/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1. So 1 W = 1 J/s.
When would I need to convert joule per second to watt?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
