What are Erg/second and Picowatt

Definition of Erg/second

An erg/second is a unit of power in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system. It measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted over time. Specifically, it represents one erg of energy transferred every second. The erg, a unit of energy, is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted over a distance of one centimeter. In practical terms, erg/second is a very small unit of power compared to the watt, making it more relevant in physics and scientific calculations where precise energy measurements are essential.

Definition of Picowatt

A picowatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one trillionth of a watt, or 10^-12 watts. It is used to quantify extremely small amounts of power, often in scientific research and electronics. The prefix 'pico' signifies a factor of 10^-12, making it ideal for measuring phenomena such as subtle electrical signals or minute energy consumption in microelectronics. Although not commonly used in everyday applications, picowatts play a critical role in fields requiring precise power measurements, such as quantum physics and advanced engineering.

Conversion of Erg/second to Picowatt

1 erg/s = 100 pW
1 pW = 0.01 erg/s

Example 1:
convert 500 erg/s to pW:
500 erg/s = 500 × 100 pW = 50000 pW

Example 2:
convert 250 erg/s to pW:
250 erg/s = 250 × 100 pW = 25000 pW
