Erg

About

Initially, A unit of energy in the CGS system, representing the work done by a force of one dyne over a distance of one centimeter.

Historical Background

Throughout history, Part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, used in early physics. Subsequently, this helped establish its widespread use.

Modern Applications

Today, Rarely used today, replaced by the SI unit joule. Moreover, it continues to serve essential measurement needs.

Joule

About

Primarily, The SI unit of energy, representing the work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter.

Historical Background

Over time, Named after James Prescott Joule, who studied the relationship between heat and mechanical work. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.

Modern Applications

Currently, Standard unit for measuring energy in physics, engineering, and everyday applications. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
