Convert microwatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert microwatt [µW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to microwatt.
1 µW = 0.0001 cJ/s. To convert microwatt to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 0.0001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 10000 µW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µW = 0.0001 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 10000 µW
- 10 µW = 0.001 cJ/s
- 100 µW = 0.01 cJ/s
How to Convert Microwatt to Centijoule/second
1 µW = 0.0001 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 µW to cJ/s:
15 µW = 15 × 0.0001 cJ/s = 0.0015 cJ/s

Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 microwatt in centijoule/second?
1 microwatt (µW) = 0.0001 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert microwatt to centijoule/second?
Multiply the microwatt value by 0.0001. For example, 25 µW × 0.0001 = 0.0025 cJ/s.
What is 10 microwatt in centijoule/second?
10 µW = 0.001 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the microwatt or the centijoule/second?
The centijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 µW equals only 0.0001 cJ/s.
