Convert kilojoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert kilojoule/second [kJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to kilojoule/second.
1 kJ/s = 10000000000 erg/s. To convert kilojoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 10000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1.0000e-10 kJ/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 kJ/s = 10000000000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 1.0000e-10 kJ/s
- 10 kJ/s = 100000000000 erg/s
- 100 kJ/s = 1e+12 erg/s
How to Convert Kilojoule/second to Erg/second
1 kJ/s = 10000000000 erg/s
Example: convert 15 kJ/s to erg/s:
15 kJ/s = 15 × 10000000000 erg/s = 150000000000 erg/s

Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
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.
