Convert erg/second to nanojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to nanojoule/second [nJ/s], or Convert nanojoule/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 100 nJ/s. To convert erg/second to nanojoule/second, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nJ/s = 0.01 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 = 100 nJ/s
- 1 nJ/s = 0.01 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 1000 nJ/s
- 100 erg/s = 10000 nJ/s
How to Convert Erg/second to Nanojoule/second
1 erg/s = 100 nJ/s
Example: convert 15 erg/s to nJ/s:
15 erg/s = 15 × 100 nJ/s = 1500 nJ/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.
Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
