What is a megawatt (MW)?

A megawatt is a unit of power equal to one million watts, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion commonly used for large power outputs like in power plants.

What does microjoule per second (µJ/s) measure?

Microjoule per second is a power unit that measures very small rates of energy transfer, such as the power consumption of ultra-low-power microcontrollers or optical devices.

Why convert from MW to µJ/s?

This conversion helps relate large-scale power measurements to tiny power levels for applications involving precise electronics, photonics, and energy-harvesting devices.
