What is a millijoule used to measure?

A millijoule quantifies small amounts of energy such as those in low-power laser pulses, electronic micro-events, and small-scale mechanical tests.

How does a kilowatt-second relate to other energy units?

A kilowatt-second equals one kilojoule or 1000 joules, commonly used to express energy delivered over one second by a one-kilowatt power source.

Why might converted kilowatt-second values be very small?

Because millijoules represent much smaller energies than kilowatt-seconds, conversions often result in very small decimal values.
