Convert deciwatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to deciwatt.
1 dW = 10 cJ/s. To convert deciwatt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 0.1 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 = 10 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 0.1 dW
- 10 dW = 100 cJ/s
- 100 dW = 1000 cJ/s
How to Convert Deciwatt to Centijoule/second
1 dW = 10 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 dW to cJ/s:
15 dW = 15 × 10 cJ/s = 150 cJ/s

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.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 deciwatt in centijoule/second?
1 deciwatt (dW) = 10 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert deciwatt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 10. For example, 25 dW × 10 = 250 cJ/s.
