What does nanojoule per second measure?

Nanojoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one nanowatt, indicating very low continuous power levels.

Why convert nanojoule/second to hectowatt?

Converting helps express extremely small power levels in a unit that is more familiar and practical for household appliances or small machines.

Is this conversion common for everyday power use?

No, it is mainly used in specialized fields like ultra-low-power electronics and photonics rather than routine power consumption measurements.
