What does one kilowatt represent in terms of power?

One kilowatt equals 1,000 watts, measuring the rate of energy transfer typically for larger electrical or mechanical systems.

When should I use millijoule per second as a power unit?

Millijoule per second is suited for very low-power applications such as sensors, wearables, or precise laboratory instruments.

Why does conversion from kW to mJ/s result in large numbers?

Because 1 kilowatt equals 1,000,000 millijoule per second, converting leads to large numerical values that need careful handling.
