Convert pferdestarke to erg/second

Please provide values below to convert pferdestarke [ps] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to pferdestarke.

1 ps = 7354987500 erg/s. To convert pferdestarke to erg/second, multiply the value by 7354987500; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1.3596e-10 ps). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Quick Reference

  • 1 ps = 7354987500 erg/s
  • 1 erg/s = 1.3596e-10 ps
  • 10 ps = 73549875000 erg/s

Pferdestarke

The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.

History/Origin

The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.

Current Use

Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.


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.
