Unit Description

Centiwatt (cW)

Definition

A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt (0.01 W). It represents extremely small power levels found in ultra-low-power electronics, precision sensors, and specialized instruments.

History

The centiwatt developed with the need for precise power measurements in advanced electronics and scientific instruments. It became important for describing power consumption in ultra-low-power devices and precision measurement systems.

Current Use

Centiwatts are used in ultra-low-power electronics, precision sensors, and specialized scientific instruments. They're essential for describing power consumption in advanced sensors, precision circuits, and ultra-low-power electronic systems.

Deciwatt (dW)

Definition

A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one tenth of a watt (0.1 W). It represents very small power levels typically found in low-power electronic devices, sensors, and precision instruments.

History

The deciwatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing a convenient unit for small power measurements. It became useful for describing power consumption of low-power electronic devices and precision instruments.

Current Use

Deciwatts are used for low-power electronic devices, sensor specifications, and precision instruments. They're found in specifications for small sensors, low-power circuits, and electronic devices requiring minimal power consumption.

Conversion Examples

Convert 1 Centiwatt to Deciwatt

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.1 dW
  2. Conversion Formula: dW = cW ÷ 10
  3. Calculation: 1 cW ÷ 10 = 0.1 dW

Convert 10 Centiwatt to Deciwatt

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.1 dW
  2. Conversion Formula: dW = cW ÷ 10
  3. Calculation: 10 cW ÷ 10 = 1 dW

Convert 100 Centiwatt to Deciwatt

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.1 dW
  2. Conversion Formula: dW = cW ÷ 10
  3. Calculation: 100 cW ÷ 10 = 10 dW

Convert 1,000 Centiwatt to Deciwatt

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.1 dW
  2. Conversion Formula: dW = cW ÷ 10
  3. Calculation: 1,000 cW ÷ 10 = 100 dW
