How to convert watt-seconds to milliwatt-hours?

Certainly! Here’s how you can convert Watt-seconds to Milliwatt-hours:

  1. Understanding Units:

    • 1 Watt-second (W·s) is equivalent to 1 Joule (J) since 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second.
    • To convert Joules to Milliwatt-hours (mWh), you first convert Joules to Watt-hours (Wh).
  2. Conversion Factors:

    • 1 Watt-hour = 3600 Watt-seconds (since 1 hour = 3600 seconds).
    • Therefore, 1 Joule = 1 Watt-second.
    • To convert Joules to Watt-hours: 1 J = 1 W·s * (1 Wh / 3600 W·s) = 1/3600 Wh.

    Since there are 1000 milliwatts in a watt, you multiply by 1000 to convert Watt-hours to Milliwatt-hours.

  3. Conversion Calculation:

    • 1 Watt-second (W·s) = 1/3600 Wh = 13600\frac{1}{3600} Wh.
    • To get this value in Milliwatt-hours: 13600\frac{1}{3600} Wh * 1000 mWh/Wh = 10003600\frac{1000}{3600} mWh = 518\frac{5}{18} mWh ≈ 0.2778 mWh.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities in Watt-seconds:

  1. 100 Watt-seconds:

    • 100 W·s * (1 Wh / 3600 W·s) = 100 / 3600 Wh = 1/36 Wh.
    • Converting to mWh: (100 / 3600 Wh) * 1000 mWh/Wh = 1000003600\frac{100000}{3600} mWh ≈ 27.78 mWh.
  2. 1,000 Watt-seconds (1 kW·s):

    • 1000 W·s * (1 Wh / 3600 W·s) = 1000 / 3600 Wh ≈ 0.27778 Wh.
    • Converting to mWh: (1000 / 3600 Wh) * 1000 mWh/Wh = 277.78 mWh.
  3. 10,000 Watt-seconds (10 kW·s):

    • 10,000 W·s * (1 Wh / 3600 W·s) = 10,000 / 3600 Wh ≈ 2.7778 Wh.
    • Converting to mWh: (10,000 / 3600 Wh) * 1000 mWh/Wh = 2777.8 mWh.

Real-World Application Examples:

  • 1 Watt-second:

    • A LED light bulb drawing 1 watt of power will consume 1 Watt-second of energy in 1 second.
  • 100 Watt-seconds:

    • A small computer fan running at 10 watts will consume 100 Watt-seconds in 10 seconds.
  • 1,000 Watt-seconds:

    • A hair dryer at 1000 watts (1kW) will consume 1000 Watt-seconds in 1 second.
  • 10,000 Watt-seconds:

    • A high-powered microwave oven running at 1kW will consume 10,000 Watt-seconds in 10 seconds.

Understanding these conversions can help you better grasp the concept of energy consumption in various devices and their equivalence in different units.

What is watt-seconds?

Watt-seconds, also known as joules (J), is a unit of energy. It represents the amount of energy expended or work done when 1 watt (a unit of power) is applied for 1 second.

In essence, it measures how much "oomph" or "energy punch" is delivered in that one-second period. Think of it as a way to quantify the total energy transferred by a source (like a light bulb) over a short duration.

What is milliwatt-hours?

A Milliwatt-hour is a unit of energy and its units, kWh, are formed with W for watt and h for hour from SI unit system combined with letter m, metric prefix, for 0.001 or 10310^{-3}. Its definition, in the context of electricity, is the energy of one watt power flowing for one hour.

Followings equivalent equations are identical but in different units. Please note that factor 10310^{-3} is representing Milli prefix in mWh unit.
