Convert erg / second to watt

Learn how to convert 1 erg / second to watt step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{e r g}{s e c o n d}) = x (w a t t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{e r g}{s e c o n d}) = 10^{- 7} (w a t t) = 10^{- 7} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{e r g}{s e c o n d}) = x (w a t t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 7} \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 7} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 7} \cdot (W) = x \times 1.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

10^{- 7} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

10^{- 7} = x

Switch sides

x = 10^{- 7}

Solve

x

x = 10^{- 7}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{e r g}{s e c o n d}) = 10^{- 7} (w a t t)
