Joules to Megawatts Converter
How to Convert Joules (J) to Megawatts (MW)
Since power (W or MW) is energy (J) divided by time (seconds), to convert joules to megawatts, you need to know the time over which the energy is used.
J to MW Calculation Formula
The power P in megawatts (MW) is equal to the energy E in joules (J) divided by the time t in seconds (s) and then divided by 1,000,000:
P(MW) = E(J) / (t(s) × 1,000,000)Example Calculation
If you have an energy measurement of 10,000,000 J and the time is 5 seconds, the calculation would be:
P(MW) = 10,000,000 J / (5 s × 1,000,000) = 2 MWEnergy (J)
Joules (J) represent the total energy consumed or produced. It is the product of power and time.
Time (s)
Time (seconds) is the duration for which the energy is applied. It is a crucial factor in determining the power output.
Power (MW)
Megawatts (MW) represent the rate of energy transfer or conversion. It indicates how much energy is used per unit of time.
