Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between milliwatts and hectowatts.
What is a milliwatt (mW)?
A milliwatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for milliwatt is mW. There are 100,000 milliwatts in a hectowatt.
What is a hectowatt (hW)?
A hectowatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for hectowatt is hW. There are 0.00001 hectowatts in a milliwatt.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from milliwatts to hectowatts is:
hectowatts = milliwatts ÷ 100,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from milliwatts to hectowatts (mW to hW).
Milliwatt to Hectowatt Conversion Example
Task: Convert 45,000 milliwatts to hectowatts (show work) Formula: milliwatts ÷ 100,000 = hectowatts Calculations: 45,000 milliwatts ÷ 100,000 = 0.45 hectowatts Result: 45,000 milliwatts is equal to 0.45 hectowatts
