An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. 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), the erg is not the standard unit; instead, the joule is used, where 1 erg equals 1x10^-7 joules.
Definition of Watt-hourA watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. It represents the amount of energy that electrical equipment, such as a light bulb or heater, would use if operated for one hour. This unit is commonly used to measure electrical energy for billing purposes, where 1 Wh equals 3600 joules.
| Erg | Watt-hour (Wh) |
|---|---|
| 1x10^7 erg | 2.7778x10^-8 Wh |
| 1x10^8 erg | 2.7778x10^-7 Wh |
| 1x10^9 erg | 2.7778x10^-6 Wh |
| 1x10^10 erg | 2.7778x10^-5 Wh |
| 1x10^11 erg | 2.7778x10^-4 Wh |
| 1x10^12 erg | 2.7778x10^-3 Wh |
| 1x10^13 erg | 2.7778x10^-2 Wh |
| 1x10^14 erg | 2.7778x10^-1 Wh |
| 1x10^15 erg | 2.7778 Wh |
| 1x10^16 erg | 27.778 Wh |
1 erg = 2.7778x10^-11 Wh
1 Wh = 3.6x10^13 erg
Example 1:
convert 1x10^9 erg to Wh:
1x10^9 erg = 1x10^9 × 2.7778x10^-11 Wh = 0.027778 Wh
Example 2:
convert 5x10^10 erg to Wh:
5x10^10 erg = 5x10^10 × 2.7778x10^-11 Wh = 1.3889 Wh
The Erg to Watt-hour Converter has a history rooted in the evolution of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units and its integration with the International System of Units (SI). This tool reflects the scientific progression from using ergs to Wh for energy conversion.
Harness the practicality of energy conversion with our Erg to Watt-hour Converter, where real-world applications come to light.
Example 1: To convert 2x10^10 erg to Wh, you simply calculate: 2x10^10 erg = 2x10^10 × 2.7778x10^-11 Wh = 0.55556 Wh.
Example 2: To convert 7x10^12 erg to Wh, the calculation is: 7x10^12 erg = 7x10^12 × 2.7778x10^-11 Wh = 1.9444 Wh.
