What does 1 microjoule represent in joules?

One microjoule equals one millionth of a joule (1 µJ = 0.000001 J).

Where is converting microjoules to joules commonly applied?

It is commonly used in laser physics, microelectromechanical systems, electrical engineering, and thermodynamics.

Why might microjoules be impractical for expressing large energies?

Because the numerical values become extremely small, making them inconvenient and less intuitive for large energy amounts.
