What does one joule per second represent?

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

When should I use picojoule per second as a unit?

Picojoule per second (pJ/s) is used for extremely small continuous power measurements, especially in micro/nanoelectronics and photonic applications.

What is the conversion factor from joule/second to picojoule/second?

One joule per second equals one trillion (10¹²) picojoules per second.
