Convert milliwatt to nanojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to nanojoule/second [nJ/s], or Convert nanojoule/second to milliwatt.
How to Convert Milliwatt to Nanojoule/second
1 mW = 1000000 nJ/s
Example: convert 15 mW to nJ/s:
15 mW = 15 × 1000000 nJ/s = 15000000 nJ/s

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.
Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
