Erg to joule converter (erg to j)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 1.00e-7 j

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Joule = 1.000 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (1.000 J/j) = 1.00e-7 j
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 1.00e-7 to get the equivalent in j

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to j:
