What does femtojoule per second measure?

It quantifies extremely small power, useful for energy transfer rates in nanoelectronic and experimental physics contexts.

What is a kilovolt ampere used for?

Kilovolt ampere measures apparent power in AC electrical systems, commonly used to rate transformers, generators, and electrical equipment.

Why are converted values so small when converting from fJ/s to kV*A?

Because femtojoule per second is a unit of power on a scale much smaller than kilovolt ampere, leading to very small numerical results.
