Convert milliwatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to milliwatt.
1 mW = 0.1 cJ/s. To convert milliwatt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 0.1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 10 mW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mW = 0.1 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 10 mW
- 10 mW = 1 cJ/s
- 100 mW = 10 cJ/s
How to Convert Milliwatt to Centijoule/second
1 mW = 0.1 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 mW to cJ/s:
15 mW = 15 × 0.1 cJ/s = 1.5 cJ/s

Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
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 milliwatt in centijoule/second?
1 milliwatt (mW) = 0.1 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert milliwatt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the milliwatt value by 0.1. For example, 25 mW × 0.1 = 2.5 cJ/s.
What is 10 milliwatt in centijoule/second?
10 mW = 1 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the milliwatt or the centijoule/second?
The centijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 mW equals only 0.1 cJ/s.
