Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between nanowatts and milliwatts.
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.
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.
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 nanowatts to milliwatts is:
milliwatts = nanowatts ÷ 1,000,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from nanowatts to milliwatts (nW to mW).
Nanowatt to Milliwatt Conversion Example
Task: Convert 45,000 nanowatts to milliwatts (show work) Formula: nanowatts ÷ 1,000,000 = milliwatts Calculations: 45,000 nanowatts ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.045 milliwatts Result: 45,000 nanowatts is equal to 0.045 milliwatts
