Convert milliwatt to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert milliwatt [mW] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to milliwatt.
How to Convert Milliwatt to Megajoule/second
1 mW = 1e-09 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 mW to MJ/s:
15 mW = 15 × 1e-09 MJ/s = 1.5e-08 MJ/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.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
