Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
