Convert erg/second to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 100000000000 aJ/s. To convert erg/second to attojoule/second, multiply the value by 100000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-11 erg/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 erg/s = 100000000000 aJ/s
- 1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-11 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 1e+12 aJ/s
- 100 erg/s = 1.0000e+13 aJ/s
How to Convert Erg/second to Attojoule/second
1 erg/s = 100000000000 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 erg/s to aJ/s:
15 erg/s = 15 × 100000000000 aJ/s = 1500000000000 aJ/s

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.
Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
