Megajoules to Watt-seconds Conversion
Enter the energy in megajoules below to get the value converted to watt-seconds.
How to Convert Megajoules to Watt-seconds
To convert a megajoule measurement to a watt-second measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio.
Since one megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 watt-seconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in watt-seconds is equal to the megajoules multiplied by 1,000,000.
How Many Watt-seconds are in a Megajoule?
There are 1,000,000 watt-seconds in a megajoule, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 MJ = 1,000,000 Ws
Megajoules and watt-seconds are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Megajoules
One megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The megajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 106. Megajoules can be abbreviated as MJ; for example, 1 megajoule can be written as 1 MJ.
Watt-seconds
The watt-second is a measure of electrical energy equal to one watt of power over a one second period. One watt-second is equal to 1/3,600 of a watt-hour or one joule.
Watt-seconds are usually abbreviated as Ws, although the formally adopted expression is W·s. The abbreviation W s is also sometimes used. For example, 1 watt-second can be written as 1 Ws, 1 W·s, or 1 W s.
In formal expressions, the centered dot (·) or space is used to separate units used to indicate multiplication in an expression and to avoid conflicting prefixes being misinterpreted as a unit symbol.[1]
