Convert watts to deciwatt
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
Deciwatt
The deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one tenth of a watt (10−1 W), using the SI prefix deci-. It is not widely used in standard engineering practice, where watts and milliwatts are more common for the corresponding power range. Small electronic components and low-power LED emitters may be conveniently described using the deciwatt scale.
