Convert nanojoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert nanojoule/second [nJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to nanojoule/second.
1 nJ/s = 0.01 erg/s. To convert nanojoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 100 nJ/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 nJ/s = 0.01 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 100 nJ/s
- 10 nJ/s = 0.1 erg/s
- 100 nJ/s = 1 erg/s
How to Convert Nanojoule/second to Erg/second
1 nJ/s = 0.01 erg/s
Example: convert 15 nJ/s to erg/s:
15 nJ/s = 15 × 0.01 erg/s = 0.15 erg/s

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.
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 nanojoule/second in erg/second?
1 nanojoule/second (nJ/s) = 0.01 erg/second (erg/s).
How do you convert nanojoule/second to erg/second?
Multiply the nanojoule/second value by 0.01. For example, 25 nJ/s × 0.01 = 0.25 erg/s.
What is 10 nanojoule/second in erg/second?
10 nJ/s = 0.1 erg/s.
Which unit is larger, the nanojoule/second or the erg/second?
The erg/second is the larger unit: 1 nJ/s equals only 0.01 erg/s.
