    Megawatt to Erg/Second Converter

    Quick answer

    To convert Megawatts to Erg/Seconds, multiply by 1.000000e+13 (or divide by 1.000000e-13). Therefore, 1 Megawatt (MW) equals 1.000000e+13 Erg/Seconds (erg/s).

    Formula: erg/s = MW × 1.000000e+13. Worked example: 10 MW = 1.000000e+14 erg/s.

    Convert Megawatt (MW) to Erg/Second (erg/s) online with our free unit converter. In power, 1 MW = 1.000000e+13 erg/s. Explore step-by-step conversion steps, mathematical formulas, and quick conversion reference tables below.

    Worked example: converting Megawatt to Erg/Second

    1. Step 1 — start with the formula. erg/s = MW × 1.000000e+13
    2. Step 2 — substitute your figure. 10 MW × 1.000000e+13
    3. Step 3 — read the result. 10 MW = 1.000000e+14 erg/s
    4. Step 4 — check it in reverse. MW = erg/s × 1.000000e-13 returns 10 MW, which matches the figure you started with.
