5 Milliwatts to Watts
Convert 5 milliwatts (mW) to watts (W) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
mW
W
5 mW = 0.005 W
Full precision:0.005 W
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 5 milliwatts to watts, we divide by 1000 because one watt equals exactly 1000 milliwatts.
1 watt = 1000 milliwatts
Since there are 1000 milliwatts in every watt, we divide our value by this factor:
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005 watts
So 5 milliwatts = 0.005 watts.
Quick check: 0.005 × 1000 = 5 milliwatts
