What are Erg and Hartree

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to 10^-7 joules. It's a relatively small unit of energy, commonly used in physics to quantify amounts of work, heat, or energy in scientific contexts.

A Hartree is a unit of energy used in quantum chemistry and physics, equal to the energy between an electron and the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in its ground state. It is approximately 4.359744650×10^-18 joules.

History of Erg and Hartree

Originally developed as distinct units of measure, the erg and the Hartree have their roots in physics and chemistry. The erg became part of the CGS system in the 19th century, while the Hartree energy was proposed in the 20th century as a natural unit for atomic systems, reflecting the energy scale relevant to quantum mechanics.
