What does 1 terajoule per second represent in watts?

1 terajoule per second equals 10^12 watts, also known as one terawatt.

Why use volt ampere instead of watts for AC power?

Volt ampere quantifies apparent power in AC circuits, accounting for voltage and current irrespective of phase angle, unlike watts which measure real power.

Can this conversion apply to small-scale electrical devices?

No, because terajoule per second is a very large scale unit mostly used for large power systems.
