What is an erg per second in power measurement?

An erg per second is a CGS unit of power representing one erg of energy transferred each second, where one erg equals 1 g·cm²·s⁻².

When should I use femtojoule per second units?

Femtojoule per second units are ideal for expressing extremely small power levels, such as in nanoelectronic circuits or quantum experimental setups.

Why convert erg/second to femtojoule/second?

Converting from erg/second to femtojoule/second enables comparison and analysis across different scientific disciplines, especially moving from CGS to SI units for very small power values.
