Erg to megawatt-hour converter (erg to mwh)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 2.78e-17 mwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (3.60G J/mwh) = 2.78e-17 mwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 2.78e-17 to get the equivalent in mwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to mwh:

5 erg × 2.78e-17 = 1.39e-16 mwh
