What Is This Tool?

This converter enables the transformation of power values from erg per second, a CGS-unit commonly used in astrophysics, into centiwatts, a practical unit for low-power electronic devices and sensor systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value measured in erg/second.
  • Select erg/second as the source unit and centiwatt as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in centiwatts.

Key Features

  • Converts power from erg per second to centiwatt with a clear conversion factor.
  • Supports scientific and electronic power unit translation.
  • Useful in astrophysics, electronics, and energy harvesting applications.

Examples

  • 100 erg/s converts to 0.001 cW.
  • 5000 erg/s converts to 0.05 cW.

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing the power output of stars or astronomical sources in understandable low-power units.
  • Translating CGS-based theoretical power results into practical units for sensors and electronics.
  • Rating power consumption in ultra-low-power electronic components and devices.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the input value is in erg per second to get accurate conversions.
  • Use the tool for converting small power values typical of electronics and photonics.
  • Be mindful of the small conversion factor to maintain result precision.

Limitations

  • Erg per second is mainly used in older or specialized scientific contexts and may be unfamiliar to some users.
  • The conversion involves a very small factor, so numerical care is necessary.
  • Centiwatt is suited for low-power electronic ratings, not high-power scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one erg per second represent?
One erg per second is a CGS unit of power, representing the transfer of one erg of energy every second.

What is a centiwatt used for?
A centiwatt quantifies low power levels, commonly used for ultra-low-power electronics and small indicator LEDs.

Why convert erg per second to centiwatt?
Converting helps translate astrophysical or theoretical CGS units into units suitable for electronic and sensor power applications.

Key Terminology

Erg/second [erg/s]
A CGS unit of power equal to one erg of energy transferred per second, often used in astrophysical contexts.
Centiwatt [cW]
A unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, used to describe very low power systems such as small electronics.
