What does 1 centijoule per second equal in volt ampere?

1 centijoule per second [cJ/s] equals 0.01 volt ampere [V*A].

When should I use this conversion?

Use it when converting small steady power levels from scientific or micro-energy devices into apparent power values relevant in AC electrical system design.

Why does the power factor matter in this conversion?

Volt ampere represents apparent power which depends on the power factor; if the load is not purely resistive, the values may not correspond exactly.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the load is purely resistive or close to a power factor of 1 for accurate conversions
Use this conversion for very low power levels in scientific or engineering contexts
Verify unit selections carefully to ensure correct interpretation of power values
Recognize the difference between apparent power and real power in AC system analysis

Limitations

Volt ampere measures apparent power and includes phase angle effects, which may differ from direct power values in centijoule/second if power factor is not 1
Centijoule per second describes extremely low power, so this conversion is mainly relevant for low power or micro-energy contexts
The conversion assumes ideal conditions of pure resistive loads for equivalency
