What does one watt-second represent?

One watt-second equals the energy transferred when one watt of power is sustained for one second, which is dimensionally equal to one joule.

Why convert watt-seconds to millijoules?

Converting to millijoules allows clearer measurement and analysis of small energy quantities, especially in microelectronics and laser technologies.

Is this conversion suitable for large energy values?

No, because millijoule units can become unwieldy for large energies, it’s better to use watt-seconds or joules when dealing with high energy amounts.
