What is a microjoule used to measure?

A microjoule quantifies extremely small amounts of energy, such as pulse energy in lasers or mechanical work in micro-scale devices.

Is 1 newton meter the same as 1 joule?

Dimensionally yes, 1 newton meter equals 1 joule, but in engineering, newton meter often refers to torque, not just energy.

Why convert microjoules to newton meters?

Converting helps express tiny energy values in terms compatible with force through distance, aiding micro-scale mechanical and physical analyses.
