How the formula works
Both decivolt and milliwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in decivolts by 100 to get milliwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a milliwatt value by 0.01 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 Milliwatt (mW)?
A Milliwatt (mW) equals 1/1,000 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for milli-scale electrical work.
How do I convert decivolts to milliwatts?
Multiply the decivolt value by 100 to get the equivalent in milliwatts. For example, 5 dV × 100 = 500 mW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 100 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert milliwatts back to decivolts?
Yes. Divide the milliwatt value by 100, or multiply it by 0.01, to get decivolts.
