The Watt (W) is a unit of power. It is defined by the internal system of units as a unit derived from 1 kg⋅m²⋅s⁻³ (1 joule per second).

To describe watts in different multiples, the words below are used.

Microwatt – (µW) – 1 millionth of a W (10^-6 W)

Milliwatt (mW) – 0.001W

Centiwatt (cW) – 0.01W

Deciwatt (dW) – 0.1W

Watt – (W) – 1W

Decawatt (daW) – 10W

Hectowatt (hW) – 100W

Kilowatt (kW) – 1000W

Megawatt (MW) – 1 million W (10⁶ W)
