How the formula works
Both centijoule and yoctojoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centijoules by 1.000000000e+22 to get yoctojoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a yoctojoule value by 1.000000000e-22 to get back to centijoules.
Frequently asked questions
What is Centijoule (cJ)?
A centijoule (cJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 10-2 joules, a fraction of a single joule, using the SI centi prefix.
What is Yoctojoule (yJ)?
A yoctojoule (yJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 10-24 joules, a fraction of a single joule, using the SI yocto prefix.
How do I convert centijoules to yoctojoules?
Multiply the centijoule value by 1.000000000e+22 to get the equivalent in yoctojoules. For example, 5 cJ × 1.000000000e+22 = 5.000000e+22 yJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 1.000000000e+22 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert yoctojoules back to centijoules?
Yes. Divide the yoctojoule value by 1.000000000e+22, or multiply it by 1.000000000e-22, to get centijoules.
