What does millijoule per second measure?

Millijoule per second (mJ/s) measures power as energy transfer rate at a very low scale, equal to one thousandth of a watt.

What is volt ampere used for?

Volt ampere (V*A) is the unit of apparent power in AC circuits, representing the product of voltage and current without accounting for power factor.

Can I use this conversion for all AC power calculations?

This conversion is useful for relating low-scale real power to apparent power, but it assumes a power factor of 1 and might not represent true usable power in all AC systems.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform power measurements from millijoule per second (mJ/s), used for very low power energy rates, into volt ampere (V*A), the unit that represents apparent power in alternating-current (AC) electrical systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in millijoule per second (mJ/s).
Select millijoule per second as the starting unit and volt ampere as the target unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in volt amperes (V*A).
Review the result showing the converted apparent power value.

Key Features

Convert power from millijoule per second to volt ampere with a simple formula.
Suitable for relating low-power measurements to AC system power ratings.
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
Accurately reflects the difference between real power at microscale and apparent power in electrical circuits.

Examples

Converting 10 mJ/s results in 0.01 V*A.
Converting 500 mJ/s results in 0.5 V*A.

Common Use Cases

Determining power consumption of low-power devices like sensors and wearables.
Measuring optical output power of low-intensity LEDs and lab lasers.
Calculating apparent power capacity for transformers and UPS units.
Analyzing power characteristics in AC electrical engineering applications.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the context as millijoule per second is a very small power scale.
Use this conversion primarily for compatibility between low-power measurements and AC power ratings.
Consider phase angle and power factor when dealing with volt ampere values in practical AC systems.
Confirm if apparent power or real power is needed for your application before converting.

Limitations

Conversion assumes ideal conditions with a power factor of 1, which may not reflect actual AC system behavior.
Millijoule per second values convert to very small volt ampere numbers that might be insignificant in typical power contexts.
Volt ampere measures apparent power affected by voltage and current phase, so direct equivalence with millijoule per second real power is limited.
