One Joule is equal to

  • A.105 ergs
  • B.103 ergs
  • C.107 ergs
  • D.1011 ergs

Answer: C

One joule equals 107 ergs.

\[ 1\ \mathrm{J} = 1\ \mathrm{N\,m} = 10^5\ \mathrm{dyne} \times 10^2\ \mathrm{cm} = 10^7\ \mathrm{erg} \]

The erg is the CGS unit of work and the joule the SI unit; the factor comes from converting both the force and the distance.
