Convert milliwatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to milliwatt.
1 mW = 1e-06 kJ/s. To convert milliwatt to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1000000 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 = 1e-06 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 1000000 mW
- 10 mW = 1e-05 kJ/s
- 100 mW = 0.0001 kJ/s
How to Convert Milliwatt to Kilojoule/second
1 mW = 1e-06 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 mW to kJ/s:
15 mW = 15 × 1e-06 kJ/s = 1.5e-05 kJ/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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 milliwatt in kilojoule/second?
1 milliwatt (mW) = 1e-06 kilojoule/second (kJ/s).
How do you convert milliwatt to kilojoule/second?
Multiply the milliwatt value by 1e-06. For example, 25 mW × 1e-06 = 2.5e-05 kJ/s.
What is 10 milliwatt in kilojoule/second?
10 mW = 1e-05 kJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the milliwatt or the kilojoule/second?
The kilojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 mW equals only 1e-06 kJ/s.
