What are Erg and Megaelectron-volt
Definition of Erg
An erg is a unit of energy equal to 10^-7 joules. Derived from the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system, it is a small unit of energy often used in physics. One erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter.
Definition of Megaelectron-volt
A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy used in particle physics, equivalent to one million electron-volts. It's a measure of the amount of energy gained or lost by an electron as it moves through an electric potential difference of one volt. One MeV is equal to 1.60218 x 10^-13 joules.
