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.
Microwatt (µW)
Definition
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt (10⁻⁶ W). It represents extremely small amounts of power found in ultra-low-power electronics, biological systems, and precision scientific instruments.
History
The microwatt became necessary with the advancement of microelectronics and the development of ultra-low-power devices. It was particularly important for describing power consumption in integrated circuits, sensors, and biological measurement systems.
Current Use
Microwatts are used in microelectronics, biological research, precision instruments, and ultra-low-power applications. They're essential for describing power consumption in microprocessors, biological sensors, and advanced scientific equipment.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Centiwatt to Microwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 10,000 µW
- Conversion Formula: µW = cW × 10,000
- Calculation: 1 cW × 10,000 = 10,000 µW
Convert 10 Centiwatt to Microwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 10,000 µW
- Conversion Formula: µW = cW × 10,000
- Calculation: 10 cW × 10,000 = 100,000 µW
Convert 100 Centiwatt to Microwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 10,000 µW
- Conversion Formula: µW = cW × 10,000
- Calculation: 100 cW × 10,000 = 1e+6 µW
Convert 1,000 Centiwatt to Microwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 10,000 µW
- Conversion Formula: µW = cW × 10,000
- Calculation: 1,000 cW × 10,000 = 1e+7 µW
