Convert watt to nanowatt
Please provide values below to convert watt [W] to nanowatt [nW], or Convert nanowatt to watt.
1 W = 1000000000 nW. To convert watt to nanowatt, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nW = 1e-09 W). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 W = 1000000000 nW
- 1 nW = 1e-09 W
- 10 W = 10000000000 nW
- 100 W = 100000000000 nW
How to Convert Watt to Nanowatt
1 W = 1000000000 nW
Example: convert 15 W to nW:
15 W = 15 × 1000000000 nW = 15000000000 nW

Watt
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The watt was named after James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor, in 1889. It was adopted as the SI unit of power to standardize measurements in science and engineering.
Current Use
The watt is widely used today to quantify power in electrical devices, engines, and energy consumption, serving as a fundamental unit in physics, engineering, and everyday applications.
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.
