What does 1 milliwatt (mW) represent?

1 milliwatt is one thousandth (10⁻³) of a watt, representing a power transfer rate of one joule per second, commonly used for low power electronics.

Why use decijoule per second (dJ/s) instead of milliwatt?

Decijoule per second is an SI-derived unit representing 0.1 watt, useful in scientific and engineering contexts where decimal multiples of joules per second simplify analysis.

Can this conversion handle varying power over time?

No, this conversion assumes a constant power rate and does not account for transient or varying power scenarios.
