Convert nanowatt to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1.0000e-10 daW. To convert nanowatt to dekawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 10000000000 nW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nW = 1.0000e-10 daW
- 1 daW = 10000000000 nW
- 10 nW = 1e-09 daW
- 100 nW = 1e-08 daW
How to Convert Nanowatt to Dekawatt
1 nW = 1e-10 daW
Example: convert 15 nW to daW:
15 nW = 15 × 1e-10 daW = 1.5e-09 daW

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanowatt in dekawatt?
1 nanowatt (nW) = 1.0000e-10 dekawatt (daW).
How do you convert nanowatt to dekawatt?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 1.0000e-10. For example, 25 nW × 1.0000e-10 = 2.5e-09 daW.
What is 10 nanowatt in dekawatt?
10 nW = 1e-09 daW.
Which unit is larger, the nanowatt or the dekawatt?
The dekawatt is the larger unit: 1 nW equals only 1.0000e-10 daW.
