What does one calorie (IT) per minute represent?

It represents the rate of heat or energy transfer equivalent to one international-table calorie of energy transferred in one minute, commonly used for small continuous heat rates.

Where is femtojoule per second commonly used?

Femtojoule per second is used to quantify extremely small energy transfer rates in fields like nanoelectronics, single-photon detectors, and quantum physics experiments.

Can I convert large power values using this tool?

While you can input large values, the calorie (IT)/minute unit is intended for relatively small heat rates, and femtojoule/second is meant for ultra-small power levels, so interpretation should consider these scale differences.
