What is a dyne centimeter?

A dyne centimeter is a CGS unit of energy representing work done by a force of one dyne over one centimetre, equal to 1×10⁻⁷ joule and identical to an erg.

What does a kilowatt-hour represent?

A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy indicating the energy used by one kilowatt of power over one hour, commonly used in electrical engineering and billing.

Why convert from dyne centimeters to kilowatt-hours?

Users convert to translate small mechanical energies in CGS units into standard electrical energy units for comparison, reporting, or integration with commercial energy data.
