Convert watts to centiwatt
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.
Centiwatt
The centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt (10−2 W), using the SI prefix centi-. Like the deciwatt, it is seldom used in practice, with milliwatts being preferred for this power range in electronics and telecommunications. Some low-power laser diodes and wireless communication transmitters operate at output levels in the centiwatt range.
