Convert microjoule/second to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert microjoule/second [µJ/s] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to microjoule/second.
1 µJ/s = 10 erg/s. To convert microjoule/second to erg/second, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 0.1 µJ/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 µJ/s = 10 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 0.1 µJ/s
- 10 µJ/s = 100 erg/s
- 100 µJ/s = 1000 erg/s
How to Convert Microjoule/second to Erg/second
1 µJ/s = 10 erg/s
Example: convert 15 µJ/s to erg/s:
15 µJ/s = 15 × 10 erg/s = 150 erg/s

Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
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
