Joules to Watts

Joules (J) to Watts (W) calculator and how to calculate

Joules (J) to Watts (W) calculator

Energy in joules: J
Time in seconds: s

Watts: W

Joules (J) to Watts (W) conversion

Given Energy in Joules (J), it is possible to convert it into Watts (W) by dividing the Joules by the period t in seconds (s)

P(W) = E(J) / t(s)

Therefore:

watt = joule / second

or

W = J / s

Example

Calculate the power consumption, in watts in an electrical circuit, given that the circuit consumed 50 Joules of energy in duration of 2 seconds.

Solution

P = E/t

P(W) = 50J / 2s = 25W
