Converting from Erg (erg) to Quad (quad) | Energy

What is Erg (erg)

An erg is the CGS unit of energy, equal to the work done by a force of one dyne when its point of application moves one centimeter in the direction of the force. It is a small unit of energy mainly used in physics.

What is Quad (quad)

A quad is a much larger unit of energy typically used in the field of nuclear physics. It is equal to 10^15 (or 1,000,000,000,000,000) BTU (British Thermal Units). Quads are commonly used when discussing national and global energy consumption.
