What does a microjoule per second represent?

It is a very small unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one microjoule every second, often used in electronics and optics.

Why convert microjoule per second to kilocalorie (th) per second?

This enables comparing very low power electrical or optical measurements with thermal power units commonly used in heat transfer and calorimetry.

Are these units directly equivalent in practical applications?

No, they measure different kinds of power; the conversion mainly provides unit compatibility rather than practical equivalence.
