Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Use the converter to see the formula.
Bar and Yoctowatt measure different quantities, so no single result applies.

Formula
Bar (bar) measures pressure and mechanical stress, while Yoctowatt (yW) measures power. These are different physical quantities, so there is no single multiplication factor that converts one into the other.
bar relates to its own pressure and mechanical stress base unit by a factor of 100000. yW relates to its own power base unit by a factor of 0.
Conversion table
| Bar (bar) | 100000 × pressure and mechanical stress base unit |

Frequently asked questions
Can Bar be converted to Yoctowatt?
Not directly. Bar measures pressure and mechanical stress and Yoctowatt measures power. Converting between different physical quantities needs an extra physical relationship (such as area, distance, or time), not just a unit ratio.
What is Bar used for?
The Bar (bar) is a unit of pressure and mechanical stress. A bar is exactly 100,000 pascals.
What is Yoctowatt used for?
The Yoctowatt (yW) is a unit of power. Yoctowatt is 1e-24 watt units.
Why does the converter show an incompatible units message?
The Universal Converter only calculates a numeric result when both units share the same physical dimension. Since Bar and Yoctowatt don't, the tool flags them as not directly compatible rather than returning a meaningless number.
What should I convert Bar to instead?
Use another pressure and mechanical stress unit, such as one of the related Bar conversions linked below.
What should I convert Yoctowatt to instead?
Use another power unit, such as one of the related Yoctowatt conversions linked below.

About this conversion
This page compares Bar (bar) and Yoctowatt (yW) within the engineering converter.
A bar is exactly 100,000 pascals. Yoctowatt is 1e-24 watt units.
Because Bar measures pressure and mechanical stress and Yoctowatt measures power, the two units are not directly convertible: there is no fixed ratio that turns one into the other without additional information.
The calculator above will report that these units are not compatible. For a working result, choose two units from the same measurement family — see the related conversions below.
