What are Calorie and Erg

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify the amount of energy in food. Originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, it has become an integral part of nutritional information. The term 'calorie' is often used interchangeably with 'kilocalorie' in dietary contexts, where it measures the energy content in food. In scientific contexts, the International Table (IT) calorie is more precisely defined, aiding in accurate energy measurement across various applications. This unit plays a critical role in understanding and managing energy consumption and expenditure.

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, representing a small amount of energy. Specifically, it is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted over a distance of one centimeter. This unit is particularly useful in fields like physics and engineering, where precise measurements of small amounts of energy are required. Although not as commonly used as the joule in the International System of Units (SI), the erg remains relevant in certain scientific contexts, ensuring precise energy calculations at micro levels.
