How the formula works
Both centiwatt and microwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centiwatts by 10000 to get microwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a microwatt value by 0.0001 to get back to centiwatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Centiwatt (cW)?
A Centiwatt (cW) equals 1/100 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for centi-scale electrical work.
What is Microwatt (uW)?
A Microwatt (uW) equals 1e-06 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for micro-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centiwatts to microwatts?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 10000 to get the equivalent in microwatts. For example, 5 cW × 10000 = 50000 uW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert microwatts back to centiwatts?
Yes. Divide the microwatt value by 10000, or multiply it by 0.0001, to get centiwatts.
