Convert millijoule/second to megawatt
Please provide values below to convert millijoule/second [mJ/s] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to millijoule/second.
1 mJ/s = 1e-09 MW. To convert millijoule/second to megawatt, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW = 1000000000 mJ/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 mJ/s = 1e-09 MW
- 1 MW = 1000000000 mJ/s
- 10 mJ/s = 1e-08 MW
- 100 mJ/s = 1e-07 MW
How to Convert Millijoule/second to Megawatt
1 mJ/s = 1e-09 MW
Example: convert 15 mJ/s to MW:
15 mJ/s = 15 × 1e-09 MW = 1.5e-08 MW

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.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 millijoule/second in megawatt?
1 millijoule/second (mJ/s) = 1e-09 megawatt (MW).
How do you convert millijoule/second to megawatt?
Multiply the millijoule/second value by 1e-09. For example, 25 mJ/s × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 MW.
What is 10 millijoule/second in megawatt?
10 mJ/s = 1e-08 MW.
Which unit is larger, the millijoule/second or the megawatt?
The megawatt is the larger unit: 1 mJ/s equals only 1e-09 MW.
