Convert calorie (th)/second to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to calorie (th)/second.
1 cal(th)/s = 4184000000 µW. To convert calorie (th)/second to microwatt, multiply the value by 4184000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 2.3901e-10 cal(th)/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(th)/s = 4184000000 µW
- 1 µW = 2.3901e-10 cal(th)/s
- 10 cal(th)/s = 41840000000 µW
- 100 cal(th)/s = 418400000000 µW

Calorie (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
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.
