Convert deciwatt to attowatt
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to deciwatt.
1 dW = 1.0000e+17 aW. To convert deciwatt to attowatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aW = 1.0000e-17 dW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dW = 1.0000e+17 aW
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-17 dW
- 10 dW = 1.0000e+18 aW
- 100 dW = 1.0000e+19 aW
How to Convert Deciwatt to Attowatt
1 dW = 1e+17 aW
Example: convert 15 dW to aW:
15 dW = 15 × 1e+17 aW = 1.5e+18 aW

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.
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.
