Erg per Second [erg/s]


Erg per second is a unit of power in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, measuring the rate of energy transfer or work done.



  • Erg is a unit of energy equal to 10710^{-7} joules.



  • When expressed as erg/second, it indicates how many ergs of energy are transferred or work is done every second.



Conversion to watts:


1 erg/s=107 watts1 \text{ erg/s} = 10^{-7} \text{ watts}

This unit is mainly used in physics, especially in fields like astrophysics and radiative energy transfer, where very small amounts of power are involved.



Megawatt (MW)


The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10610^{6} watts:


1 MW=1,000,000 W1 \text{ MW} = 1,000,000 \text{ W}

Megawatts are commonly used to express the power output of medium to large-sized power plants, such as wind farms, solar plants, and small hydroelectric stations. For example, a typical wind turbine might produce around 2 to 3 MW of power.


In practical terms, 1 megawatt can supply electricity to roughly 1,000 average homes.


The megawatt is a convenient scale for measuring electrical generation and consumption on a regional or city level, bridging the gap between smaller household power use (kilowatts) and larger industrial or national-scale power (gigawatts).
