About Units

Joules per second: Joules per second (J/s) is a unit of power equivalent to watts in the International System of Units (SI). One joule per second is the rate at which one joule of energy is transferred or converted in one second. It is commonly used in scientific contexts to measure energy transfer rates.

Watt: The watt (W) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one joule per second. It is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor. Watts are commonly used to measure the rate of energy transfer in electrical systems. For example, a typical incandescent light bulb consumes about 60 watts of power.
