A milliwatt (mW) is one thousandth of a watt and measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one joule per second, commonly used to express low power levels in electronic devices.

What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

It is a power unit equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, quantifying heat or energy transfer rates, often used in calorimetry and metabolic studies.

Why convert milliwatt to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting helps translate electrical or optical power outputs into thermal energy rates, which is useful in laboratories, metabolic rate analysis, and food heating evaluations.
