What is a centiwatt used for?

A centiwatt quantifies power at very low levels, commonly used for ultra-low-power electronics, small LEDs, and micro-energy harvesters.

How does megajoule per second relate to other power units?

Megajoule per second represents power on a large scale and is equivalent to one megawatt, used in power plants and industrial systems.

Why convert from centiwatt to megajoule per second?

Conversion helps compare tiny power outputs from micro-devices to large industrial power figures for analysis and reporting.
