Convert picojoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert picojoule/second [pJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to picojoule/second.
1 pJ/s = 1e-05 erg/s. To convert picojoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 100000 pJ/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 pJ/s = 1e-05 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 100000 pJ/s
- 10 pJ/s = 0.0001 erg/s
- 100 pJ/s = 0.001 erg/s
How to Convert Picojoule/second to Erg/second
1 pJ/s = 1e-05 erg/s
Example: convert 15 pJ/s to erg/s:
15 pJ/s = 15 × 1e-05 erg/s = 0.00015 erg/s

Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
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 picojoule/second in erg/second?
1 picojoule/second (pJ/s) = 1e-05 erg/second (erg/s).
How do you convert picojoule/second to erg/second?
Multiply the picojoule/second value by 1e-05. For example, 25 pJ/s × 1e-05 = 0.00025 erg/s.
What is 10 picojoule/second in erg/second?
10 pJ/s = 0.0001 erg/s.
Which unit is larger, the picojoule/second or the erg/second?
The erg/second is the larger unit: 1 pJ/s equals only 1e-05 erg/s.
