Convert milliwatt to picojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to picojoule/second [pJ/s], or Convert picojoule/second to milliwatt.
1 mW = 1000000000 pJ/s. To convert milliwatt to picojoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pJ/s = 1e-09 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 = 1000000000 pJ/s
- 1 pJ/s = 1e-09 mW
- 10 mW = 10000000000 pJ/s
- 100 mW = 100000000000 pJ/s
How to Convert Milliwatt to Picojoule/second
1 mW = 1000000000 pJ/s
Example: convert 15 mW to pJ/s:
15 mW = 15 × 1000000000 pJ/s = 15000000000 pJ/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.
Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
