There are 10 million ergs in 1 joule.
The erg is the unit of work done - or energy expended - in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of measurement.
An erg is equal to .0000001 joule. A joule is the unit of work done - or energy expended - in the meter-kilogram-second (MKS) system.
Further information about the joule
A joule is a unit of electrical energy equal to the work done when a current of one ampere is passed through a resistance of one ohm for one second.
AND
A joule is a unit of energy equal to the work done when a force of one newton acts through a distance of one meter.

What is difference between joule and erg?
A factor of 10 million. 1 joule = 10,000,000 ergs 1 erg = 0.000 000 1 joule
How many erg make a joule?
1 joule = 10 million ergs
Where is the unit of an erg most typically used?
An "erg" is used as the measure for energy and / or mechanical work and thus is often used in the context of physics. There exists conversions for erg in Joule since Joule is more common than erg.
What does the erg do?
It doesn't "do" anything. An erg is an old unit for energy, in the cgs system. The modern unit for energy is the joule. 1 joule is 10 million ergs.
What unit measures kinetic energy?
joule or erg
What is a Fraction of a joule?
An erg.

What unit measures kinetic energy?
joule or erg
Unit of work is?
(MKS)or(SI)- joule CGS- erg
What is the word for unit of measurement of energy?
A Joule … the standard unit of measure of Energy. (or an Erg which is equal to Joule^-7)
Units of work?
newtonmeter (Nm) or Joule (J)
The unit of work is called a?
Joule (watt.sec) or erg and other units.
What is the cgs unit for force?
Work is measured in joules.The unit of work is the joule (J).Please see the related link.The joule is the SI unit of work and heat.
What does erg stand for?
An erg is a unit of energy in the cgs system. It is equal to 10-7 joule (that is, 0.1 microjoule or 100 nanojoule) - a very small unit.
