What is a microwatt used to measure?

A microwatt quantifies extremely small power levels often in electrical, optical, and biomedical systems, such as IoT sensor power or photodiode output.

Why convert microwatt to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting microwatt to calorie (th)/minute helps compare electrical or optical power outputs in terms of thermal energy transfer, relevant in research and metabolic studies.

Is this conversion suitable for high power measurements?

No, it is designed for very low power levels and assumes steady state conditions; it may not be accurate for high or varying power.
