Please provide values below to convert decijoule/second [dJ/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to decijoule/second.
How to Convert Decijoule/second to Microwatt
1 dJ/s = 100000 µW
Example: convert 15 dJ/s to µW:
15 dJ/s = 15 × 100000 µW = 1500000 µW

Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
