Convert erg/second to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 1e-05 cJ/s. To convert erg/second to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 100000 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 = 1e-05 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 100000 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 0.0001 cJ/s
- 100 erg/s = 0.001 cJ/s
How to Convert Erg/second to Centijoule/second
1 erg/s = 1e-05 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 erg/s to cJ/s:
15 erg/s = 15 × 1e-05 cJ/s = 0.00015 cJ/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.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 erg/second in centijoule/second?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 1e-05 centijoule/second (cJ/s).
How do you convert erg/second to centijoule/second?
Multiply the erg/second value by 1e-05. For example, 25 erg/s × 1e-05 = 0.00025 cJ/s.
What is 10 erg/second in centijoule/second?
10 erg/s = 0.0001 cJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the erg/second or the centijoule/second?
The centijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 erg/s equals only 1e-05 cJ/s.
