What does volt ampere measure?

Volt ampere (V*A) measures apparent power in AC circuits, combining voltage and current regardless of phase angle.

When should I use centijoule/second?

Centijoule/second (cJ/s) is ideal for expressing very small, steady power levels in scientific and electronic applications.

Does this conversion consider power factor?

No, the conversion scales units but does not account for power factor differences in AC power.
