What are Milliwatt and Kilocalorie

Definition of Milliwatt

A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power measurement in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a watt. Commonly used in various scientific and engineering applications, the milliwatt quantifies small levels of energy transfer. Devices like lasers, audio amplifiers, and communication equipment often rely on milliwatts for precise power control. By providing a finer scale of measurement, the milliwatt enables accurate assessments of energy consumption and efficiency in low-power systems, making it an essential unit in modern technology.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a calorie in dietary contexts, is a unit of energy measurement equivalent to 1,000 small calories or one Calorie (with an uppercase 'C'). This unit is used to quantify the energy content in food and the energy expenditure in living organisms. In scientific contexts, the kilocalorie is also known as the International Table (IT) calorie. It plays a crucial role in nutrition, helping individuals understand their dietary intake and manage energy balance. Additionally, kilocalories are used in various scientific and engineering calculations related to energy and heat transfer.

Conversion of Milliwatt to Kilocalorie

1 mW = 0.0000143 kcal/min
1 kcal/min = 69,767.4 mW

Example 1:
Convert 100 mW to kcal/min:
100 mW = 100 × 0.0000143 kcal/min = 0.00143 kcal/min

Example 2:
Convert 500 mW to kcal/min:
500 mW = 500 × 0.0000143 kcal/min = 0.00715 kcal/min
