Milliwatt-hours to Watt-seconds conversion

How to convert milliwatt-hours to watt-seconds?

Sure, I'll walk you through the conversion process from milliwatt-hours to watt-seconds and provide some real-world examples for other quantities of milliwatt-hours.

Conversion Process

First, let's understand the units involved.

1. Milliwatt-hour (mWh): This is a unit of energy equivalent to the energy consumed by a device that uses one milliwatt of power continuously for one hour.
2. Watt-second (Ws): This is another unit of energy, equivalent to one watt of power used continuously for one second.

Since 1 watt (W) = 1000 milliwatts (mW), 1 milliwatt is equal to 0.001 watts (1 mW = 0.001 W).

To convert from milliwatt-hours to watt-seconds, follow these steps:

1. Convert milliwatt-hours to watt-hours by dividing by 1000.
2. Convert watt-hours to watt-seconds by multiplying by 3600 (since 1 hour = 3600 seconds).

Example: Converting 1 milliwatt-hour to watt-seconds

1. Step 1: Convert milliwatt-hours to watt-hours.

   $1 \text{ mWh} = \frac{1 \text{ mWh}}{1000} = 0.001 \text{ Wh}$

2. Step 2: Convert watt-hours to watt-seconds.

   $0.001 \text{ Wh} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 3.6 \text{ Ws}$

Therefore, 1 milliwatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 watt-seconds.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Milliwatt-Hours

Here are some examples for different quantities of milliwatt-hours converted to watt-seconds:

1. 5 mWh: $5 \text{ mWh} = 5 \times 0.001 \text{ Wh} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 18 \text{ Ws}$

2. 10 mWh: $10 \text{ mWh} = 10 \times 0.001 \text{ Wh} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 36 \text{ Ws}$

3. 50 mWh: $50 \text{ mWh} = 50 \times 0.001 \text{ Wh} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 180 \text{ Ws}$

4. 100 mWh: $100 \text{ mWh} = 100 \times 0.001 \text{ Wh} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 360 \text{ Ws}$

These examples illustrate how the energy values change when converted to watt-seconds from milliwatt-hours.
