What does a microwatt measure?

A microwatt (µW) measures very small power levels, equal to one millionth of a watt, commonly used in microelectronics and biomedical applications.

How is a hectojoule per second related to watts?

One hectojoule per second (hJ/s) equals 100 watts, representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted.

Why are conversions from microwatt to hectojoule/second resulting in very small numbers?

Because 1 µW equals 1e-8 hJ/s, the large magnitude difference leads to tiny values that require precise interpretation.
