What does one joule per second represent?

One joule per second (J/s) is the SI derived unit of power, measuring the rate of energy transfer equal exactly to one watt (W).

In what situations is calorie (IT)/second used?

It is used to express thermal power or heat-transfer rates using the historical International Table calorie, especially in laboratory calorimetry and older technical literature.

Is calorie (IT) a standard SI unit?

No, the calorie (IT) is a non-SI unit and is less favored in modern scientific contexts that mostly use joules or watts.
