How the formula works
Both terajoule and picojoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in terajoules by 1.000000000e+24 to get picojoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a picojoule value by 1.000000000e-24 to get back to terajoules.
Frequently asked questions
What is Terajoule (TJ)?
A terajoule (TJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 1012 joules, using the SI tera prefix.
What is Picojoule (pJ)?
A picojoule (pJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 10-12 joules, a fraction of a single joule, using the SI pico prefix.
How do I convert terajoules to picojoules?
Multiply the terajoule value by 1.000000000e+24 to get the equivalent in picojoules. For example, 5 TJ × 1.000000000e+24 = 5.000000e+24 pJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 1.000000000e+24 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert picojoules back to terajoules?
Yes. Divide the picojoule value by 1.000000000e+24, or multiply it by 1.000000000e-24, to get terajoules.
