J:
Energy (joules)
Explanation of Terms
- E (Ergs): The unit of energy in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system. One erg is defined as the energy transferred when a force of one dyne is applied over a distance of one centimeter.
- J (Joule): The unit of energy in the SI (International System of Units). One joule is the energy transferred when one newton of force is applied over a distance of one meter.
