An erg is a unit of energy equal to one ten-millionth of a joule. Derived from the Greek word for work, 'ergon', it is a small unit used primarily in the field of physics to measure energy quantities in microscopic systems, such as atomic-scale phenomena.
Definition of Kilowatt-secondA kilowatt-second (kW·s) measures energy, equivalent to the amount of work done by a power of one kilowatt operating for one second. This unit is commonly used in the electrical industry and represents a practical scale for larger energy quantities than erg.
| Erg | Kilowatt-second (kW·s) |
|---|---|
| 1e7 erg | 2.7778e-6 kW·s |
| 2e7 erg | 5.5556e-6 kW·s |
| 5e7 erg | 1.3889e-5 kW·s |
| 1e8 erg | 2.7778e-5 kW·s |
| 2e8 erg | 5.5556e-5 kW·s |
| 5e8 erg | 1.3889e-4 kW·s |
| 1e9 erg | 2.7778e-4 kW·s |
| 2e9 erg | 5.5556e-4 kW·s |
| 5e9 erg | 1.3889e-3 kW·s |
| 1e10 erg | 2.7778e-3 kW·s |
Example 1:
Convert 1e7 erg to kW·s:
1e7 erg = 2.7778e-6 kW·s
Example 2:
Convert 5e7 erg to kW·s:
5e7 erg = 1.3889e-5 kW·s
The Erg to Kilowatt-second Converter has roots dating back to the late 19th century, with the advent of erg as a unit in the CGS system. Over time, the need for conversions to modern units like kilowatt-seconds became evident, leading to the creation of conversion tools like ours.
Explore the practical applications of converting ergs to kilowatt-seconds in various fields, enhancing your understanding of energy management.
Example 1:
Convert 2e8 erg to kW·s:
2e8 erg = 5.5556e-5 kW·s
Example 2:
Convert 1e10 erg to kW·s:
1e10 erg = 2.7778e-3 kW·s
