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

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer of one microjoule every second, representing very small continuous power levels.

Why convert µJ/s to centiwatt (cW)?

Converting to centiwatt provides a more common low-power unit useful for specifying electronics and sensor power ratings.

Is this conversion useful for large power values?

No, this conversion is designed for very low power levels and may not be practical for larger magnitudes.
