What is a milliwatt (mW)?

A milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt, which measures the rate of energy transfer or power, commonly used for low power levels in electronics.

What does pound-foot/second measure?

Pound-foot/second is an Imperial unit of power representing mechanical work done per second by a force of one pound-foot.

When should I convert milliwatts to pound-foot/second?

Convert from milliwatts to pound-foot/second when you need to express small electrical power measurements as mechanical power in Imperial units, often in electromechanical engineering.
