What are Erg and Kiloelectron-volt

An erg is a unit of energy or work done in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the International System of Units (SI), an erg is equal to 10^-7 joules. This small unit is often used in physics and astrophysics.

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the fields of particle physics and electromagnetism. One keV is equal to 1,000 electron-volts (eV) and it represents the kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. It is equivalent to 1.602×10^-16 joules in SI units.

History of Erg and Kiloelectron-volt

A brief history of the Erg to Kiloelectron-volt Converter traces back to the adoption of the CGS and the eV as units of measurement in physics. These units helped quantify energy at atomic scales and facilitated the transition to more practical units like keV for high-energy processes.
