What does centijoule per second measure?

It measures power as hundredths of a joule transferred per second, useful for small steady power levels.

Why use nanowatt for power measurements?

Nanowatt is ideal for expressing extremely low power rates, commonly used in precision electronics and photonics.

Can I use this conversion for larger power values?

This tool is tailored for very small power measurements; larger values require different units.
