How the formula works
Both centiwatt and yoctowatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centiwatts by 1.000000e+22 to get yoctowatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a yoctowatt value by 1.000000e-22 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 Yoctowatt (yW)?
A Yoctowatt (yW) equals 1e-24 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for yocto-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centiwatts to yoctowatts?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 1.000000e+22 to get the equivalent in yoctowatts. For example, 5 cW × 1.000000e+22 = 5.000000e+22 yW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e+22 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert yoctowatts back to centiwatts?
Yes. Divide the yoctowatt value by 1.000000e+22, or multiply it by 1.000000e-22, to get centiwatts.
