How the formula works
Both decivolt and centiwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in decivolts by 10 to get centiwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centiwatt value by 0.1 to get back to decivolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Decivolt (dV)?
A Decivolt (dV) equals 1/10 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for deci-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 decivolts to centiwatts?
Multiply the decivolt value by 10 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 dV × 10 = 50 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to decivolts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 10, or multiply it by 0.1, to get decivolts.
