Converting from Kilojoule (kJ) to Erg (erg) | Energy

What is Kilojoule (kJ)

Kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is commonly used to quantify energy in various fields, including physics, chemistry, and engineering. One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, and it is represented as kJ.

What is Erg (erg)

Erg (erg) is another unit of energy that is often used in the field of physics. It is a very small unit of energy, with 1 erg equal to 10^-7 joules. The erg is not as commonly used as the kilojoule but can be useful for precise measurements in specialized scientific applications.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between kilojoules and ergs is as follows:

• 1 kJ=1010 erg

• 1 erg=10−10 kJ

Examples

Let's look at some other conversions:

• 10 kJ=1011 erg

• 10 erg=10−9 kJ

• 15 kJ=1.5×1011 erg

• 15 erg=1.5×10−9 kJ

• 13 kJ=1.3×1011 erg

• 13 erg=1.3×10−9 kJ
