Convert microwatt to millijoule/second
Enter a value below to convert microwatt [µW] to millijoule/second [mJ/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert millijoule/second to microwatt.
1 µW = 0.001 mJ/s. To convert microwatt to millijoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mJ/s = 1000 µW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Microwatt to Millijoule/second: Quick Reference
- 1 µW = 0.001 mJ/s
- 1 mJ/s = 1000 µW
- 10 µW = 0.01 mJ/s
- 100 µW = 0.1 mJ/s
How to Convert Microwatt to Millijoule/second
1 µW = 0.001 mJ/s
Example: convert 15 µW to mJ/s:
15 µW = 15 × 0.001 mJ/s = 0.015 mJ/s

Microwatt: Definition and Use
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
Millijoule/second: Definition and Use
A millijoule per second (mJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one millijoule of energy transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the joule, the SI unit of energy, and the second, the SI unit of time. It has been used in contexts requiring small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering applications, with the millijoule being a submultiple of the joule.
Current Use
Millijoule per second is used to measure small power levels in scientific experiments, electronics, and other fields where precise, small-scale power measurement is necessary, often within the context of energy transfer or consumption rates.
Microwatt to Millijoule/second: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 microwatt in millijoule/second?
1 microwatt (µW) = 0.001 millijoule/second (mJ/s).
How do you convert microwatt to millijoule/second?
Multiply the microwatt value by 0.001. For example, 25 µW × 0.001 = 0.025 mJ/s.
What is 10 microwatt in millijoule/second?
10 µW = 0.01 mJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the microwatt or the millijoule/second?
The millijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 µW equals only 0.001 mJ/s.
