Convert milliwatt to decijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to decijoule/second [dJ/s], or Convert decijoule/second to milliwatt.
1 mW = 0.01 dJ/s. To convert milliwatt to decijoule/second, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dJ/s = 100 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 = 0.01 dJ/s
- 1 dJ/s = 100 mW
- 10 mW = 0.1 dJ/s
- 100 mW = 1 dJ/s
How to Convert Milliwatt to Decijoule/second
1 mW = 0.01 dJ/s
Example: convert 15 mW to dJ/s:
15 mW = 15 × 0.01 dJ/s = 0.15 dJ/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.
Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 milliwatt in decijoule/second?
1 milliwatt (mW) = 0.01 decijoule/second (dJ/s).
How do you convert milliwatt to decijoule/second?
Multiply the milliwatt value by 0.01. For example, 25 mW × 0.01 = 0.25 dJ/s.
What is 10 milliwatt in decijoule/second?
10 mW = 0.1 dJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the milliwatt or the decijoule/second?
The decijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 mW equals only 0.01 dJ/s.
