Answer to the LA Times crossword clue Unit of energy featured in the LA Times puzzle is ERG.

The answer "ERG" refers to a unit of energy in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted over a distance of one centimeter. In other words, an erg is equivalent to 10−710^{-7}10−7 joules in the International System of Units (SI).

The erg is a small unit of energy commonly used in physics, especially in fields such as mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics to quantify energy transfer, work done, or energy consumption on a microscopic or molecular scale. While not frequently used in everyday contexts due to its small size, the erg remains relevant in scientific research and calculations where precise measurements of energy at microscopic levels are required.

For example, in the study of molecular interactions, chemical reactions, or particle physics, the erg provides a convenient unit for describing energy changes or transfers in terms of work done by forces or fields acting over small distances.
