Convert decijoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert decijoule/second [dJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to decijoule/second.
1 dJ/s = 1000000 erg/s. To convert decijoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1e-06 dJ/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 dJ/s = 1000000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 1e-06 dJ/s
- 10 dJ/s = 10000000 erg/s
- 100 dJ/s = 100000000 erg/s
How to Convert Decijoule/second to Erg/second
1 dJ/s = 1000000 erg/s
Example: convert 15 dJ/s to erg/s:
15 dJ/s = 15 × 1000000 erg/s = 15000000 erg/s

Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
