About These Units
Erg (erg)
An erg is the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy equal to 10⁻⁷ joules or 1 dyne-centimeter. Ergs appear in older scientific literature and some astronomical calculations. One joule equals 10 million ergs. Rarely used in modern applications.
Electronvolt (eV)
An electronvolt (eV) is the energy gained by an electron accelerated through 1 volt potential difference, equal to 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joules. Electronvolts measure atomic and molecular energies, photon energy (visible light: 1.6-3.3 eV), and particle physics. X-rays range from 100 eV to 100 keV.
