What are Erg and Calorie

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, named from the Greek word 'ergon,' meaning work. Precisely, it represents the amount of work done by a force of one dyne applied over a distance of one centimeter. Although it's a small unit, equivalent to 1×10^-7 joules, it serves as a useful measurement in fields like physics, where small-scale energy calculations occur frequently. Despite the dominance of the joule in the International System of Units (SI), the erg remains relevant in specific scientific contexts, illustrating its enduring utility.

Definition of Calorie

The calorie is a unit of energy that originated from the Latin word 'calor,' meaning heat. Primarily used in nutrition, it measures the amount of energy food provides to the body. There are two types of calories: small calorie (cal) and large calorie (Cal), with the latter being more common in dietary contexts. One large calorie is equivalent to 1,000 small calories or one kilocalorie. While the joule is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), calories remain popular in nutritional contexts, providing a convenient way to measure energy intake and expenditure.
