What does one dekajoule per second represent in watts?

One dekajoule per second equals 10 watts, indicating the rate of energy transfer of 10 joules per second.

Why convert from dekajoule per second to megawatt?

Converting these units lets users relate small-scale power measurements typical in households and labs to large-scale power outputs used in industry and utilities.

Can I use this conversion for very small power measurements?

While possible, converting very small values to megawatts may reduce precision and might be irrelevant due to the large unit scale difference.
