Limitations
-
Picojoule/second quantifies ultra-low power that may be negligible in mechanical contexts.
-
Measurement noise and sensitivity can impact practical use of picojoule/second values.
-
Conversion is mathematically exact but interpretation varies with application scale.
-
Not suited for expressing larger power levels without appropriate scaling.
