Convert 2 Microwatt (µW) to Erg/Second (erg/s).

2 Microwatt equals 20 Erg/Second. Multiply 2 by 10.

2 Microwatt = 20 Erg/Second

Worked example: converting Microwatt to Erg/Second

Step 1 — start with the formula. erg/s = µW × 10
Step 2 — substitute your figure. 2 µW × 10
Step 3 — read the result. 2 µW = 20 erg/s
Step 4 — check it in reverse. µW = erg/s × 0.1 returns 2 µW, which matches the figure you started with.
