==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Microwatts''' ('''µW''') are a [[unit]] of [[power]] 1,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Watt]].
===About Microwatts===
: '''Microwatts''' are shortened to '''µW''' with the Greek letter µ and an upper case W.
: [[Micro]] means one millionth so there are 1,000,000 [[microwatt]]s in a [[Watt]].
