Watt to Milliwatt Conversion Formula

To convert from Watt (W) to Milliwatt (mW), use the following formula:

 Milliwatt (mW)\textbf{ Milliwatt} \text{ (mW)}

=1000× Watt (W)= 1000\times \textbf{ Watt} \text{ (W)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Watt (W) to Milliwatt (mW).

Using the formula:

5×1000=50005 \times 1000 = 5000

Therefore, 5 Watt (W) is equal to 50005000 Milliwatt (mW).

What is a Watt (W)?

A Watt (W) is a base unit of power in the metric system. The plural form is Watts.

What is a Milliwatt (mW)?

A Milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a Watt (0.001 W). The plural form is Milliwatts.

What is the metric system?

The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used by nearly every country in the world. Its key feature is the use of prefixes to denote multiples and submultiples of the base units by powers of ten.
