Convert attowatt to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert attowatt [aW] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to attowatt.
1 aW = 1.0000e-17 dW. To convert attowatt to deciwatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 1.0000e+17 aW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-17 dW
- 1 dW = 1.0000e+17 aW
- 10 aW = 1.0000e-16 dW
- 100 aW = 1.0000e-15 dW
How to Convert Attowatt to Deciwatt
1 aW = 1e-17 dW
Example: convert 15 aW to dW:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-17 dW = 1.5e-16 dW

Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in deciwatt?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1.0000e-17 deciwatt (dW).
How do you convert attowatt to deciwatt?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.0000e-17. For example, 25 aW × 1.0000e-17 = 2.5000e-16 dW.
What is 10 attowatt in deciwatt?
10 aW = 1.0000e-16 dW.
Which unit is larger, the attowatt or the deciwatt?
The deciwatt is the larger unit: 1 aW equals only 1.0000e-17 dW.
