Why convert picowatts to kilojoules per minute?

This conversion allows expressing very small power levels in terms of energy transferred over a minute, which is helpful in fields like exercise physiology, calorimetry, and low-power electronics.

Is the conversion factor between picowatt and kilojoule/minute fixed?

Yes, the conversion rate is consistent: 1 picowatt equals 6e-14 kilojoules per minute.

What are typical applications of picowatt measurements?

Picowatt measurements are used for extremely low power levels such as noise in cryogenic detectors, standby power in IoT sensors, and faint astronomical signals.
