How the formula works
Both nanowatt and centiwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in nanowatts by 1.000000e-07 to get centiwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centiwatt value by 1.000000e+07 to get back to nanowatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nanowatt (nW)?
A Nanowatt (nW) equals 1e-09 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for nano-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 nanowatts to centiwatts?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 1.000000e-07 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 nW × 1.000000e-07 = 5.000000e-07 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-07 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to nanowatts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 1.000000e-07, or multiply it by 1.000000e+07, to get nanowatts.
