What does microjoule/second measure?

Microjoule per second (µJ/s) measures very small continuous power levels, such as in low-power electronics and optical systems.

Why convert µJ/s to erg/s?

Conversion to erg/second is useful for expressing small power in the CGS system, often required in astrophysics and theoretical physics.

What is the conversion rate between µJ/s and erg/s?

1 Microjoule per second equals 10 erg per second according to the established conversion formula.
