Milliwatt Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the milliwatt value is:

$mW = P \times 1000$

Where:

$mW$ is the milliwatt value
$P$ is the power value in watts

What is a Milliwatt?

A milliwatt is a unit of power that is equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a watt, which is the standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It is commonly used in telecommunications, electronics, and physics to measure small amounts of power, such as the power output of a transmitter or the power consumption of a small electronic device.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Power (P) = 5 W

Using the formula:

$mW = 5 \times 1000 = 5000 \text{ mW}$

The milliwatt value is 5000 mW.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Power (P) = 0.5 W

Using the formula:

$mW = 0.5 \times 1000 = 500 \text{ mW}$

The milliwatt value is 500 mW.
