Convert hectojoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert hectojoule/second [hJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to hectojoule/second.
1 hJ/s = 1000000000 erg/s. To convert hectojoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1e-09 hJ/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 hJ/s = 1000000000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 1e-09 hJ/s
- 10 hJ/s = 10000000000 erg/s
- 100 hJ/s = 100000000000 erg/s
How to Convert Hectojoule/second to Erg/second

Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
