What is a nanojoule (nJ)?

A nanojoule is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to one billionth of a joule, measuring very small amounts of energy used in microelectronics and optics.

What does a kilogram-force centimeter represent?

A kilogram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit of energy representing the work done by a force of one kilogram-force acting over one centimeter.

Why convert nanojoules to kilogram-force centimeters?

This conversion helps relate tiny electromagnetic or electronic energy values to mechanical energy units commonly found in legacy engineering and mechanical contexts.
