Milliwatts (mW) to Kilowatts (kW) Conversion
To convert milliwatts (mW) to kilowatts (kW), divide by 1,000,000, because:
Conversion Formula
The formula becomes:
kW = mW / 1,000,000Where:
- kW = Power in kilowatts (kW)
- mW = Power in milliwatts (mW)
Milliwatts (mW)
Milliwatts (mW) are a unit of power equal to one-thousandth of a watt (0.001 W), often used to measure small-scale energy outputs or consumption, such as in electronic devices. For more on power units, see this guide on kilowatts.
- Scientific Definition: 1 mW = 0.001 W
- Real-world Example: A small LED light might consume around 20 mW of power.
- Common Usage: Used in low-power devices like sensors, LEDs, and small electronic components.
kilowatts (kW)
Kilowatts are a larger unit of power commonly used in electrical systems:
- Scientific Definition: 1 kW = 1,000 W
- Real-world Example: A typical electric kettle might use around 2 kW of power.
- Common Usage: Used in household appliances, industrial machines, and power generation.
