Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one nanojoule per second represent?
-
One nanojoule per second is a power unit equal to 10⁻⁹ joules per second and denotes extremely small continuous power levels.
-
Why convert nanojoule/second to kilowatt?
-
This conversion allows relating minute power values in nanotechnology and microelectronics to larger-scale power units used in common electrical systems.
-
Is it practical to compare nanojoule/second and kilowatt directly?
-
Due to the vast difference in magnitude, comparing these units directly can be challenging without using scientific notation.
Key Terminology
