Examples
1
Consider that a smartphone charger delivers 15 watts (W) of power.
Convert this power output from watts to Gigawatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Watts = 15 W
Converting Power from Watts to Gigawatts...
The formula to convert from Watts to Gigawatts is:
Power(Gigawatts) = Power(Watts) / 1e9
Substitute given Power(Watts) = 15 in the above formula.
Power(Gigawatts) = 15 / 1e9
Power(Gigawatts) = 1.5e-8
Therefore, 15 W is equal to 1.5e-8 GW.
2
Consider that a laptop uses 65 watts (W) of power while charging.
Convert this power usage from watts to Gigawatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Watts = 65 W
Converting Power from Watts to Gigawatts...
The formula to convert from Watts to Gigawatts is:
Power(Gigawatts) = Power(Watts) / 1e9
Substitute given Power(Watts) = 65 in the above formula.
Power(Gigawatts) = 65 / 1e9
Power(Gigawatts) = 6.5e-8
Therefore, 65 W is equal to 6.5e-8 GW.

Watts
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, defined as one joule per second. It is used to measure the rate of energy transfer and is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including electricity, mechanics, and heating.
Gigawatts
A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.
