What does centiwatt (cW) measure?

Centiwatt is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, used to quantify very low power consumption or output, such as from small electronics or sensors.

How is kilojoule per minute (kJ/min) used?

Kilojoule per minute measures the rate of energy transfer per minute, commonly applied to metabolic rates, calorimetry, and small appliances where energy is tracked over minutes.

Can this tool handle fluctuating power values?

The conversion assumes steady power levels and may not accurately represent instantaneous power fluctuations.
