How to Convert Milliwatts to Microwatts
To convert milliwatts (mW) to microwatts (µW), multiply the power value by 1,000:
Microwatts = Milliwatts × 1,000
Common Conversions
Milliwatts (mW) | Microwatts (µW) |
---|---|
1 mW | 1,000 µW |
5 mW | 5,000 µW |
10 mW | 10,000 µW |
Understanding Power Units
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one-thousandth (10⁻³) of a watt, while a microwatt (µW) is one-millionth (10⁻⁶) of a watt. These units are commonly used in electronics and optical power measurements.
