Convert calorie (IT)/second to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 4186800000 µW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to microwatt, multiply the value by 4186800000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 2.3885e-10 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 = 4186800000 µW
- 1 µW = 2.3885e-10 cal/s

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.
Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
