What does joule per minute measure?

Joule per minute measures the rate of energy transfer averaged over one minute, indicating how much energy is converted per minute.

When is it better to use centiwatt instead of joule per minute?

Centiwatt is preferable for specifying very low instantaneous power levels in electrical systems, such as ultra-low-power electronics and sensor nodes.

How do I convert from joule per minute to centiwatt?

Multiply the power value in joule per minute by 1.6666666667 to get the equivalent value in centiwatt.
