Why use attowatt instead of millijoule per second?

Attowatt is used to express extremely small power levels, making it suitable for ultra-sensitive scientific measurements unlike millijoule per second which is better for low but not ultra-low power.

What is the conversion rate from millijoule/second to attowatt?

One millijoule per second equals 1,000,000,000,000,000 attowatt.

Are attowatt measurements common in everyday applications?

No, attowatt power levels are relevant mostly in scientific fields like nanoelectronics, photonics, and experimental physics requiring very precise, low-level power measurements.
