What are Megawatt-hour and Erg

Definition of Megawatt-hour

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy measurement equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour (1 h). It is a standard unit commonly used in the electric power industry for quantifying large amounts of energy production or consumption.

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In more relatable terms, it is a very small unit of energy, with one joule equaling 10 billion ergs.
