Convert nanowatt to volt ampere
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to volt ampere [V*A], or Convert volt ampere to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1e-09 V*A. To convert nanowatt to volt ampere, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 V*A = 1000000000 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 = 1e-09 V*A
- 1 V*A = 1000000000 nW
- 10 nW = 1e-08 V*A
- 100 nW = 1e-07 V*A
How to Convert Nanowatt to Volt Ampere
1 nW = 1e-09 V*A
Example: convert 15 nW to V*A:
15 nW = 15 × 1e-09 V*A = 1.5e-08 V*A

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.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanowatt in volt ampere?
1 nanowatt (nW) = 1e-09 volt ampere (V*A).
How do you convert nanowatt to volt ampere?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 1e-09. For example, 25 nW × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 V*A.
What is 10 nanowatt in volt ampere?
10 nW = 1e-08 V*A.
Which unit is larger, the nanowatt or the volt ampere?
The volt ampere is the larger unit: 1 nW equals only 1e-09 V*A.
