Convert erg/second to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 1.0000e-25 EJ/s. To convert erg/second to exajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-25; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EJ/s = 1.0000e+25 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 = 1.0000e-25 EJ/s
- 1 EJ/s = 1.0000e+25 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 1.0000e-24 EJ/s
- 100 erg/s = 1.0000e-23 EJ/s
How to Convert Erg/second to Exajoule/second
1 erg/s = 1e-25 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 erg/s to EJ/s:
15 erg/s = 15 × 1e-25 EJ/s = 1.5e-24 EJ/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.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 erg/second in exajoule/second?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 1.0000e-25 exajoule/second (EJ/s).
How do you convert erg/second to exajoule/second?
Multiply the erg/second value by 1.0000e-25. For example, 25 erg/s × 1.0000e-25 = 2.5000e-24 EJ/s.
What is 10 erg/second in exajoule/second?
10 erg/s = 1.0000e-24 EJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the erg/second or the exajoule/second?
The exajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 erg/s equals only 1.0000e-25 EJ/s.
