Milliwatt Hours (mWh) to Watt Hours (Wh) Conversion
To convert milliwatt hours (mWh) to watt hours (Wh), you can use the following formula:
Conversion Formula โก
The formula becomes:
Wh = mWh / 1,000Where:
- Wh = Energy in watt hours (Wh)
- mWh = Energy in milliwatt hours (mWh)
Key Insight:
This formula is essential for converting energy measurements from milliwatt hours to watt hours, which is a more standard unit of energy.
๐ค What Do These Terms Really Mean?
Let’s break down these energy measurements in a way that’s easy to understand:
๐ Milliwatt Hours (mWh)
Milliwatt hours are a unit of energy that represent one-thousandth of a watt hour:
- Scientific Definition: 1 mWh = 0.001 Wh
- Real-world Example: A small battery might store around 2000 mWh of energy.
- Common Usage: Used in small batteries, electronic devices, and energy storage systems.
โก Watt Hours (Wh)
Watt hours are a standard unit of energy used to measure the amount of energy consumed or produced:
- Scientific Definition: 1 Wh = 1 Watt of power used for one hour.
- Real-world Example: A typical smartphone battery might have a capacity of around 10,000 mWh, or 10 Wh.
- Common Usage: Used in household appliances, batteries, and energy generation systems.
๐ฏ Quick Memory Trick
Remember: 1 Wh = 1,000 mWh
Just like:
- 1 kilowatt hour (kWh) = 1,000 watt hours (Wh)
- 1 megawatt hour (MWh) = 1,000,000 watt hours (Wh)
The ‘milli’ prefix always means one-thousandth!
