What are Erg and Electron-volt

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work done in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In scientific terms, one erg is equivalent to 10^-7 Joules. It's a small unit of energy, often used in physics to measure microscopic levels of work.

Definition of Electron-volt

An electron-volt (eV) is a unit of energy that's equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. It's a very small unit of energy, widely used in the field of atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics. One eV is equivalent to approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 Joules.
