What are Erg and Btu

The erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is equal to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In practical terms, one erg is a very small amount of energy, equivalent to 10^-7 joules. This unit is often used in physics, particularly in the fields of mechanics and energy, to measure minute quantities of energy. Despite its small size, the erg remains an important unit in scientific calculations and theoretical physics.

The British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat; it is part of the British Imperial and the United States customary systems. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The Btu is widely used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. Despite the advent of the International System of Units (SI), where energy is typically measured in joules, the Btu remains an important unit, particularly in North America, due to its historical significance and practical utility in certain applications.
