How the formula works
Both attowatt and centiwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in attowatts by 1.000000e-16 to get centiwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centiwatt value by 1.000000e+16 to get back to attowatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Attowatt (aW)?
An Attowatt (aW) equals 1e-18 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for atto-scale electrical work.
What is Centiwatt (cW)?
A Centiwatt (cW) equals 1/100 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for centi-scale electrical work.
How do I convert attowatts to centiwatts?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1.000000e-16 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 aW × 1.000000e-16 = 5.000000e-16 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-16 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to attowatts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 1.000000e-16, or multiply it by 1.000000e+16, to get attowatts.
