Convert deciwatt to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to deciwatt.
1 dW = 100000 µW. To convert deciwatt to microwatt, multiply the value by 100000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 1e-05 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 = 100000 µW
- 1 µW = 1e-05 dW
- 10 dW = 1000000 µW
- 100 dW = 10000000 µW
How to Convert Deciwatt to Microwatt
1 dW = 100000 µW
Example: convert 15 dW to µW:
15 dW = 15 × 100000 µW = 1500000 µW

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 deciwatt in microwatt?
1 deciwatt (dW) = 100000 microwatt (µW).
