Convert joule/minute to erg/second

Please provide values below to convert joule/minute [J/min] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to joule/minute.

1 J/min = 166666.67 erg/s. To convert joule/minute to erg/second, multiply the value by 166666.67; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 5.99999988e-06 J/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Quick Reference

  • 1 J/min = 166666.67 erg/s
  • 1 erg/s = 5.99999988e-06 J/min
  • 10 J/min = 1666666.7 erg/s

Joule/minute

Joule per minute (J/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in joules transferred or converted per minute.

History/Origin

The joule per minute has been used as a measure of power in various engineering and scientific contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, though it is less common than watts.

Current Use

J/min is used in specific applications such as industrial processes, heating systems, and other scenarios where power is measured over a minute, but it is generally converted to watts for standardization in scientific and technical fields.


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.
