Convert calorie (IT)/second to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 4186800 mW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to milliwatt, multiply the value by 4186800; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 2.38845896627e-07 cal/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal/s = 4186800 mW
- 1 mW = 2.38845896627e-07 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 41868000 mW
- 100 cal/s = 418680000 mW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Milliwatt
1 cal/s = 4186800 mW
Example: convert 15 cal/s to mW:
15 cal/s = 15 × 4186800 mW = 62802000 mW

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
