What is one nanojoule?

One nanojoule (nJ) is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to 1×10⁻⁹ joule, representing extremely small amounts of energy.

Is a watt-second the same as a joule?

Yes, one watt-second equals one joule; both represent the amount of energy transferred or used.

Why convert nanojoules to watt-seconds?

Converting to watt-seconds helps express very small energy amounts in units consistent with power-time calculations used in engineering and scientific analyses.
