How the formula works
Both watt-hour and picojoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in watt hours by 3.600000000e+15 to get picojoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a picojoule value by 2.777777778e-16 to get back to watt hours.
Frequently asked questions
What is Watt-hour (Wh)?
A watt-hour (Wh) is the energy delivered by one watt of power sustained for one hour, equal to 3,600 joules.
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 watt hours to picojoules?
Multiply the watt-hour value by 3.600000000e+15 to get the equivalent in picojoules. For example, 5 Wh × 3.600000000e+15 = 1.800000e+16 pJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 3.600000000e+15 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert picojoules back to watt hours?
Yes. Divide the picojoule value by 3.600000000e+15, or multiply it by 2.777777778e-16, to get watt hours.
