What is a nanojoule per second?

A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing 10⁻⁹ joules transferred or converted every second, equivalent to one nanowatt.

What does electric horsepower measure?

Electric horsepower is a unit used to rate electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts, representing the energy conversion rate of one mechanical horsepower produced by an electric machine.

When should I convert from nanojoule/second to electric horsepower?

This conversion is useful when comparing ultra-low power measurements in microelectronics or photonics to conventional power ratings used in motor specifications and industrial equipment.
