Convert milliwatt to watts
Milliwatt
The milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt (10−3 W). It is commonly used in electronics and telecommunications to express the power of signals, laser outputs, and low-power devices such as hearing aids and wireless sensors. Signal strength in radio and audio engineering is frequently described in milliwatts or in decibels relative to one milliwatt (dBm).
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.
