How the formula works
Both microwatt and deciwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in microwatts by 0.00001 to get deciwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a deciwatt value by 100000 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 Deciwatt (dW)?
A Deciwatt (dW) equals 1/10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deci-scale electrical work.
How do I convert microwatts to deciwatts?
Multiply the microwatt value by 0.00001 to get the equivalent in deciwatts. For example, 5 uW × 0.00001 = 0.00005 dW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.00001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert deciwatts back to microwatts?
Yes. Divide the deciwatt value by 0.00001, or multiply it by 100000, to get microwatts.
