How Many Ergs Is One Joule

Ergs is the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) unit of energy. The SI (Système International) unit of energy is Joule. 10⁷ ergs energy are there in one joule of energy. This is the also definition of the erg.

• Energy is the capacity of doing some work.

• The international system of units of energy is measured in Joules.

• One joule is denoted as the amount of work done by applying a one-newton force which is acting over one meter of distance.

• Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.

• The above principle is known as the law of conservation of energy.

• An erg is the amount of work done by exerting a force of one dyne across a one-centimetre distance. It will be one gram centimetre-squared per second-squared throughout CGS base units.

Forms Of Energy

• Kinetic energy - this is the type of energy that determines the movement of an object.

• Potential energy - it reflects upon the stored energy present in the object.

• Mechanical energy - this is the total sum of kinetic and potential energies possessed by an object.

• Electric energy - this denotes the potential energy due to electric fields.

• Magnetic energy - this is potential energy due to the magnetic field.

• Gravitational energy - this denotes potential energy due to the gravitational field.

• Chemical energy - this denotes potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of a chemical compound.

• Solar energy - this is the energy that is obtained from sunlight.

• Wind energy - this is formed due to wind

• Tidal energy - this energy is formed due to tides whether the high tides or low tides.

• Hydraulic energy - this energy is obtained due to the running water.

• Geothermal energy- this form of energy is formed due to radioactive decay and is present in the Earth's core.

• Nuclear energy - It is the energy of the nucleus of an atom and is released during the process of fission.

Uses Of Energy In Our Lives

• Energy is used for residential purposes like heating, cooking, lights etc.

• They are used commercially in workstations, lighting on roads, industries etc.

• They are used in Transportation.

• Modern technologies like computers and smartphones which are integral parts of our lives now depend on electrical energy to work.

• The communication towers and fibre cables are based on energy inputs.

• Natural gas is used in space and water heating, clothes drying, and cooking.

• Geothermal energy is used in space cooling, and space and water heating.

Advantages Of Renewable energy

• Renewable energy is eco-friendly.

• Can provide employment.

• Energy sources do not run out such as sunlight, wind, water etc.

• It exists freely such as sunlight, wind, water etc.

• Safer to use.
