Convert erg/second to millijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to millijoule/second [mJ/s], or Convert millijoule/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 0.0001 mJ/s. To convert erg/second to millijoule/second, multiply the value by 0.0001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mJ/s = 10000 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 = 0.0001 mJ/s
- 1 mJ/s = 10000 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 0.001 mJ/s
- 100 erg/s = 0.01 mJ/s
How to Convert Erg/second to Millijoule/second
1 erg/s = 0.0001 mJ/s
Example: convert 15 erg/s to mJ/s:
15 erg/s = 15 × 0.0001 mJ/s = 0.0015 mJ/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.
Millijoule/second
A millijoule per second (mJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one millijoule of energy transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the joule, the SI unit of energy, and the second, the SI unit of time. It has been used in contexts requiring small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering applications, with the millijoule being a submultiple of the joule.
Current Use
Millijoule per second is used to measure small power levels in scientific experiments, electronics, and other fields where precise, small-scale power measurement is necessary, often within the context of energy transfer or consumption rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 erg/second in millijoule/second?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 0.0001 millijoule/second (mJ/s).
How do you convert erg/second to millijoule/second?
Multiply the erg/second value by 0.0001. For example, 25 erg/s × 0.0001 = 0.0025 mJ/s.
What is 10 erg/second in millijoule/second?
10 erg/s = 0.001 mJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the erg/second or the millijoule/second?
The millijoule/second is the larger unit: 1 erg/s equals only 0.0001 mJ/s.
