Convert volt ampere to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 1000 mW. To convert volt ampere to milliwatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 0.001 V*A). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 V*A = 1000 mW
- 1 mW = 0.001 V*A
- 10 V*A = 10000 mW
- 100 V*A = 100000 mW
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Milliwatt
1 V*A = 1000 mW
Example: convert 15 V*A to mW:
15 V*A = 15 × 1000 mW = 15000 mW

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.
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.
