I know this is not off topic but what you going do???

I don't if 200mW is 2W or 0.2W. i'm sure you know. don't think i dumb i just have not use this most hard! Impossible! mathematic! porblem yet

Someone posted this on the forums a while ago, sorry, I've forgotten who, but I always keep a copy on my desktop for those brain overheating moments

bobcat190 · 22nd June 2003, 11:59 PM

Thanks nice chart. but MAN are you saying 200mW = 0.002W???

I need to know i might be breaking the law!!! Ehh what do i care???

Look at the row marked mili. You will see one miliwatt = 0.001 of a watt. If you have 200 of these, you have 0.200 of a watt, or 0.2watt

Hi,

In other words 200mW is 0.2W.

Or 200 thousends of a Watt....

Cheers,

Hi,

Sorry PM...guess you left the starting blocks faster than I did...

Cheers,

200mW = 200 milliwatts = 0.2 watts

which in most cases is not very much power

If you'd asked about 200MW, I'd be more concerned!

little m = milli, or thousanths

Big M + mega, or million

Handy chart! I'm saving it, and printing out a copy to
hang up next to my Ohm's Law Wheel

--Damon, who isn't too big on math either

No problems mate

You have a good memory, can you remember who posted that table?
