Convert megawatt to millijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert megawatt [MW] to millijoule/second [mJ/s], or Convert millijoule/second to megawatt.
1 MW = 1000000000 mJ/s. To convert megawatt to millijoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mJ/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 mJ/s
- 1 mJ/s = 1e-09 MW
- 10 MW = 10000000000 mJ/s
- 100 MW = 100000000000 mJ/s
How to Convert Megawatt to Millijoule/second
1 MW = 1000000000 mJ/s
Example: convert 15 MW to mJ/s:
15 MW = 15 × 1000000000 mJ/s = 15000000000 mJ/s

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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
