How the formula works
Both deciwatt and microwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in deciwatts by 100000 to get microwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a microwatt value by 0.00001 to get back to deciwatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Deciwatt (dW)?
A Deciwatt (dW) equals 1/10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deci-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 deciwatts to microwatts?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 100000 to get the equivalent in microwatts. For example, 5 dW × 100000 = 500000 uW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 100000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert microwatts back to deciwatts?
Yes. Divide the microwatt value by 100000, or multiply it by 0.00001, to get deciwatts.
