Converting from Joule (J) to Erg (erg)

What is Joule (J)

Joule (J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as the work done when a force of one newton acts through a distance of one meter.

What is Erg (erg)

Erg (erg) is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne over a distance of one centimeter.
