What are Erg and Calorie

Definition of Erg

An 'Erg' is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for one centimeter. In more tangible terms, it is a very small unit of energy; it takes about 10 million ergs to equal the energy of a single joule.

Definition of Calorie

A 'Calorie', with an uppercase 'C', typically refers to a kilocalorie and is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of energy in food. One Calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. This measurement is crucial for understanding the energy content in food and managing dietary intake.

Conversion of Erg to Calorie

1 erg = 1e-7 Calorie (nutritional)
1 Calorie (nutritional) = 1e7 erg

Example 1:
convert 10,000,000 erg to calories:
10,000,000 erg = 10,000,000 × 1e-7 cal = 1 cal

Example 2:
convert 50,000,000 erg to calories:
50,000,000 erg = 50,000,000 × 1e-7 cal = 5 cal
