Erg to gigawatt-hour converter (erg to gwh)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 2.78e-20 gwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Gigawatt-hour = 3.60T joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (3.60T J/gwh) = 2.78e-20 gwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 2.78e-20 to get the equivalent in gwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to gwh:

5 erg × 2.78e-20 = 1.39e-19 gwh
