What does one joule per second [J/s] represent?

One joule per second is the SI unit of power equal to one watt, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

Why convert joule per second to milliwatt?

Converting to milliwatts helps express power values at smaller scales suitable for low power electronics, audio devices, and optical or RF components.

Are there any issues when converting large values to milliwatts?

Yes, large power values converted to milliwatts can result in very large numbers that may be impractical to use.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from joule per second (J/s), an SI unit equivalent to one watt, into milliwatt (mW), which represents one thousandth of a watt. It facilitates expressing power at smaller scales useful in various technical fields.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in joule per second (J/s) into the input field
Select joule per second [J/s] as the original unit and milliwatt [mW] as the target unit
Click the convert button to get the result expressed in milliwatts
Use the converted value for power rating, comparison, or engineering calculations

Key Features

Converts power values from J/s to mW quickly and accurately
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Supports detailed power quantification in electrical, optical, and RF applications
Ideal for converting low power levels common in electronics and audio devices

Examples

5 Joule per second [J/s] converts to 5000 Milliwatt [mW]
0.75 Joule per second [J/s] converts to 750 Milliwatt [mW]

Common Use Cases

Evaluating electrical power consumption or output of devices like sensors and circuits
Measuring power ratings of small audio amplifiers and portable audio equipment
Assessing optical and RF output signals in laser diodes and Bluetooth transmitters

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion to express power at finer granularity for low-power electronics
Verify measurement precision especially at milliwatt levels to avoid rounding issues
Avoid converting very large power values to milliwatts to keep results manageable
Consider measurement context when dealing with RMS or peak power in AC systems

Limitations

Millwatt representation of large power quantities can produce cumbersome numbers
Measurement precision at milliwatt levels impacts conversion accuracy
Conversion assumes exact equivalence of 1 J/s to 1 W, which may not suit all AC power contexts
