Convert millijoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert millijoule/second [mJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to millijoule/second.
1 mJ/s = 10000 erg/s. To convert millijoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 0.0001 mJ/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 mJ/s = 10000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 0.0001 mJ/s
- 10 mJ/s = 100000 erg/s
- 100 mJ/s = 1000000 erg/s
How to Convert Millijoule/second to Erg/second
1 mJ/s = 10000 erg/s
Example: convert 15 mJ/s to erg/s:
15 mJ/s = 15 × 10000 erg/s = 150000 erg/s

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.
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
What is 1 millijoule/second in erg/second?
1 millijoule/second (mJ/s) = 10000 erg/second (erg/s).
How do you convert millijoule/second to erg/second?
