Convert millijoule to microjoule
Please provide values below to convert millijoule [mJ] to microjoule [µJ], or Convert microjoule to millijoule.
1 mJ = 1000 µJ. To convert millijoule to microjoule, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µJ = 0.001 mJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mJ = 1000 µJ
- 1 µJ = 0.001 mJ
- 10 mJ = 10000 µJ
- 100 mJ = 100000 µJ
How to Convert Millijoule to Microjoule
1 mJ = 1000 µJ
Example: convert 15 mJ to µJ:
15 mJ = 15 × 1000 µJ = 15000 µJ

Millijoule
A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy equal to one thousandth of a joule, where 1 joule equals 1 newton meter or 1 kg·m²/s².
History/Origin
The millijoule is derived from the SI base unit joule, with the prefix 'milli' indicating a factor of 10⁻³. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, especially in fields like electronics and biomechanics.
Current Use
The millijoule is commonly used today to quantify small energy quantities in electronics, biomedical applications, and energy measurements where precision at a small scale is required.
Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
