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 0.000001 milliwatts in a nanowatt.
What is a nanowatt (nW)?
A nanowatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for nanowatt is nW. There are 1,000,000 nanowatts 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 nanowatts is:
nanowatts = milliwatts x 1,000,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from milliwatts to nanowatts (mW to nW).
Milliwatt to Nanowatt Conversion Example
Task: Convert 18 milliwatts to nanowatts (show work) Formula: milliwatts x 1,000,000 = nanowatts Calculations: 18 milliwatts x 1,000,000 = 18,000,000 nanowatts Result: 18 milliwatts is equal to 18,000,000 nanowatts
