What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps transform power values from centijoule per second (cJ/s), a unit representing hundredths of a joule per second, into attojoule per second (aJ/s), a measurement used to express incredibly small energy transfer rates. It serves specialists working with microelectronics, quantum devices, and ultra-low-power sensors.
