-
Attojoule/second units are sensitive to environmental noise affecting measurement accuracy
-
Practical applications are mostly limited to specialized fields due to the tiny power scales involved
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does joule per hour (J/h) measure?
-
Joule per hour (J/h) is a power unit representing one joule of energy transferred or converted per hour, used to quantify slow energy transfer rates.
-
What is an attojoule per second (aJ/s)?
-
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a power unit equal to 10^-18 joules transferred per second, representing extremely small energy transfer rates.
-
Why convert J/h to aJ/s?
-
Converting from J/h to aJ/s allows expressing very low power rates measured over hours as instantaneous power used in nanoscale and quantum device applications.
