What does picojoule/second measure?

It measures extremely small continuous power levels, typically used in microelectronics and photonics.

Why convert picojoule/second to kilojoule/hour?

To express very small continuous power values as energy rates over longer periods like hours for applications such as heat transfer or metabolic studies.

Are these units interchangeable for all power measurements?

No, they quantify power over different scales and times, so context is important when converting.
