decibel to neper
Please provide values below to convert decibel [dB] to neper [Np], or change ↔.
decibel [dB]
Definition: The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit used to measure sound intensity, power levels, and signal strength, representing a tenth of a bel.
Historyandorigin: The decibel was introduced in the 1920s as a way to quantify sound intensity and other related parameters, being one-tenth of a bel. It was adopted for its convenience in representing large variations in signal strength or sound intensity.
CurrentUse: The decibel is used globally in many fields including audio engineering, acoustics, telecommunications, and electrical engineering, to measure sound levels, signal strength, and power ratios.
funfact: Decibels are widely used in various fields, such as acoustics, electronics, and telecommunications, due to their ability to express large ranges of values in compact form.
neper [Np]
Definition: The neper (Np) is a unit of ratio used to express gains and losses of power or amplitude in a logarithmic scale, similar to decibels, but with a different base.
Historyandorigin: The neper was named after John Napier, the Scottish mathematician who introduced logarithms in the 17th century. It was introduced as a unit of ratio in the 1920s by engineers working with telecommunications and electrical systems.
CurrentUse: The neper is used mainly in the field of telecommunications and electrical engineering, where it helps express gains and losses in systems involving signal amplitude and power ratios.
funfact: The neper is primarily used in electrical engineering, and one neper equals approximately 8.686 decibels. It's more common in Europe than in the United States.

How to Convert decibel to neper
1 decibel [dB] = 0.1151277918 neper [Np]
1 neper [Np] = 8.6860000037 decibel [dB]
we use cross multiplication method
decibel [dB] → neper [Np]
1 → 0.1151277918
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.1151277918=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.1726916877
