Megawatt [MW] to Milliwatt [mW] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Megawatt (MW) = 1000000000 Milliwatt (mW)
1 Milliwatt (mW) = 1.0000e-9 Megawatt (MW)
How to Convert Megawatt to Milliwatt
1 MW = 1000000000 mW
1 mW = 1.0000e-9 MW
To convert Megawatt to Milliwatt, multiply the value by 1000000000. To convert Milliwatt back to Megawatt, divide by 1000000000.
Example: convert 10 MW to mW:
10 MW = 10 x 1000000000 = 1.0000e+10 mW
Megawatt
Definition: A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million (10⁶) watts. It is a multiple of the base unit, the watt, in the International System of Units (SI).
History/origin: The watt is named in honor of Scottish inventor James Watt. The megawatt, as a decimal multiple of the watt, was derived as a larger unit for measuring very large amounts of power.
Current use: Megawatts are used to measure the power output of power plants, large industrial facilities, and the power consumption of cities. It is a convenient unit for expressing the scale of power generation and consumption on a large scale.
Milliwatt
Definition: A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth (10⁻³) of a watt. It is a subunit of the base unit, the watt, in the International System of Units (SI).
History/origin: The watt is named in honor of Scottish inventor James Watt. The milliwatt, as a decimal multiple of the watt, was naturally derived as a smaller, more convenient unit for measuring smaller powers.
Current use: Milliwatts are used to measure small power levels in electronic circuits, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices. It's used where power consumption is low.
