What is an attojoule used to measure?

An attojoule measures extremely small energy amounts relevant at atomic, molecular, and single-photon levels.

Why convert attojoules to inch-pounds?

Converting attojoules to inch-pounds helps express tiny energy quantities in a unit familiar to mechanical engineering and torque applications.

Are inch-pounds suitable for measuring quantum energies?

Inch-pounds are typically used in mechanical contexts; using them for quantum-scale energies involves handling very small numbers and specialized calculations.
