What are Kilowatt-second and Microjoule

A Kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one thousand watts being expended for one second. It represents a direct relationship between power and time, indicating the amount of work performed or energy transferred. In practical terms, one kW·s is the energy required to power a device with a thousand-watt capacity for a full second.

A Microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), representing one millionth of a Joule. It is a diminutive amount reflecting the minute levels of energy typically involved in microscopic or highly precise scientific processes. The microjoule is critical in fields where the measurement of very small energy changes is necessary.
