Convert dekajoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert dekajoule/second [daJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to dekajoule/second.
1 daJ/s = 100000000 erg/s. To convert dekajoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 100000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1e-08 daJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daJ/s = 100000000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 1e-08 daJ/s
- 10 daJ/s = 1000000000 erg/s
- 100 daJ/s = 10000000000 erg/s
How to Convert Dekajoule/second to Erg/second
1 daJ/s = 100000000 erg/s
Example: convert 15 daJ/s to erg/s:
15 daJ/s = 15 × 100000000 erg/s = 1500000000 erg/s

Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
