What are Erg and Terajoule

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. The term 'erg' originates from the Greek word 'ergon,' meaning work. Although it is a small unit of energy, it finds application in specific scientific fields, particularly in physics and astrophysics, helping quantify energies at micro-levels. Due to its size, it is often replaced by more practical units like joules in broader contexts.

Definition of Terajoule

A terajoule (TJ) is a large unit of energy equivalent to one trillion (10^12) joules. In the International System of Units (SI), the joule is the standard unit for energy, and a terajoule represents a substantial amount of energy, sufficient to power significant industrial processes or large-scale energy projects. It is commonly used in contexts like electricity generation, satellite launches, and other high-energy applications. The terajoule is particularly useful in comparing and understanding the vast amounts of energy involved in large-scale and global phenomena.

Erg to Terajoule Conversion Table

Erg/second (erg/s) Terajoule/second (TJ/s)
1e+12 erg/s 1 TJ/s
2e+12 erg/s 2 TJ/s
5e+12 erg/s 5 TJ/s
1e+13 erg/s 10 TJ/s
2e+13 erg/s 20 TJ/s
5e+13 erg/s 50 TJ/s
1e+14 erg/s 100 TJ/s
2e+14 erg/s 200 TJ/s
5e+14 erg/s 500 TJ/s
1e+15 erg/s 1000 TJ/s

Conversion of Erg to Terajoule

1 TJ/s = 1e+12 erg/s
1 erg/s = 1e-12 TJ/s

Example 1:
Convert 3e+12 erg/s to TJ/s:
3e+12 erg/s = 3 TJ/s

Example 2:
Convert 7.5e+12 erg/s to TJ/s:
7.5e+12 erg/s = 7.5 TJ/s

History of Erg and Terajoule

Initially, energy conversions in scientific research necessitated a precise understanding of small and vast energy units. As scientific exploration expanded, the need arose for tools to bridge these differences in scale. The Erg/second to Terajoule/second Converter was developed to streamline conversion between the minuscule erg, prevalent in physics, and the vast terajoule, essential for large-scale energy calculations.
