Ergs per Second to Watts Converter

Definition

An erg per second (erg/s) is a unit of power in the CGS system, where 1 erg is 10⁻⁷ joules, and 1 erg/s equals 10⁻⁷ watts, used in early physics. A watt (W) is the SI unit of power, equal to 1 joule per second or 10⁷ ergs per second.

History

The erg was introduced in 1865 by the british association for the Advancement of Science as part of the CGS system, with erg/s measuring power in small-scale experiments. The watt, honoring james watt, was defined in 1882 and adopted by the SI system in 1960, supplanting CGS units like erg/s.
