What does attojoule per second measure?

Attojoule per second measures an extremely small power quantity equal to 10^-18 joules transferred per second, often used in nanoscale and quantum device measurements.

Why convert attojoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/hour?

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/hour helps translate tiny energy transfer rates into more conventional heating or metabolic units, aiding in comparisons and practical applications.

Can this conversion be used for large-scale power systems?

No, due to the very small values involved, this conversion is typically relevant only for very sensitive measurements and not for large power systems.
