Convert volt ampere to erg/second
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to erg/second [erg/s], or Convert erg/second to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 10000000 erg/s. To convert volt ampere to erg/second, multiply the value by 10000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg/s = 1e-07 V*A). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 V*A = 10000000 erg/s
- 1 erg/s = 1e-07 V*A
- 10 V*A = 100000000 erg/s
- 100 V*A = 1000000000 erg/s
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Erg/second
1 V*A = 10000000 erg/s
Example: convert 15 V*A to erg/s:
15 V*A = 15 × 10000000 erg/s = 150000000 erg/s

Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
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.
