What is a millijoule used for?

Millijoules measure tiny energy amounts, such as energy pulses from low-power lasers or capacitor discharges in microelectronics.

Why convert millijoules to horsepower hours?

This helps to understand very small energy quantities in terms of mechanical work over time, useful for engine or motor performance comparisons.

Are all horsepower hour conversions the same?

No, horsepower definitions vary slightly, so conversions using mechanical horsepower differ from those using metric horsepower.
