I urge you to consider 'erg' as a unit of work. It is the work done by a force of one dyne acting over a distance of one centimeter. Contrary to popular restaurant reviewers, a 'dyne' is a centimeter-gram-second unit of force, equal to the force required to impart an acceleration of one centimeter per second per second to a mass of one gram. If you are talking about electricity, then the jem you may be looking for is the 'joule'. That's the unit of electrical energy equal to the work done when a current of one ampere is passed through a resistance of one ohm for one second.

The unit of measurement for work is the joule (J). Work is defined as the amount of energy transferred by a force acting over a distance.
