How the formula works
Both microwatt and centiwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in microwatts by 0.0001 to get centiwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centiwatt value by 10000 to get back to microwatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Microwatt (uW)?
A Microwatt (uW) equals 1e-06 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for micro-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 microwatts to centiwatts?
Multiply the microwatt value by 0.0001 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 uW × 0.0001 = 0.0005 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.0001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to microwatts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 0.0001, or multiply it by 10000, to get microwatts.
