Convert centiwatt to millijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to millijoule/second [mJ/s], or Convert millijoule/second to centiwatt.
1 cW = 10 mJ/s. To convert centiwatt to millijoule/second, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mJ/s = 0.1 cW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cW = 10 mJ/s
- 1 mJ/s = 0.1 cW
- 10 cW = 100 mJ/s
- 100 cW = 1000 mJ/s
How to Convert Centiwatt to Millijoule/second
1 cW = 10 mJ/s
Example: convert 15 cW to mJ/s:
15 cW = 15 × 10 mJ/s = 150 mJ/s

Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
Millijoule/second
A millijoule per second (mJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one millijoule of energy transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the joule, the SI unit of energy, and the second, the SI unit of time. It has been used in contexts requiring small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering applications, with the millijoule being a submultiple of the joule.
Current Use
Millijoule per second is used to measure small power levels in scientific experiments, electronics, and other fields where precise, small-scale power measurement is necessary, often within the context of energy transfer or consumption rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centiwatt in millijoule/second?
1 centiwatt (cW) = 10 millijoule/second (mJ/s).
How do you convert centiwatt to millijoule/second?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 10. For example, 25 cW × 10 = 250 mJ/s.
