What is a deciwatt used for?

A deciwatt measures low power levels, often for small electronics, indicators, or sensors, representing one tenth of a watt.

Why convert deciwatt to calorie (th)/minute?

This conversion helps express low power values in terms of heat energy transfer rate, useful in calorimetry and metabolic measurements.

Is calorie (th)/minute suitable for measuring electrical power?

No, it quantifies heat transfer using thermochemical calories and is better suited for thermal energy rate measurements rather than general electrical power.
