What does nanojoule per second (nJ/s) measure?

It measures power as energy transferred or converted per second at the nanowatt scale, useful in ultra-low-power electronics.

What is a kilovolt ampere (kV*A)?

It is a unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, representing the product of RMS voltage and current.

Why convert from nJ/s to kV*A?

To express very small power levels in terms of larger, standard apparent power units used in electrical system design.
