What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms electric current values measured in abamperes, a unit from the cgs-EMU system, into milliamperes, an SI subunit commonly used for small current measurements in modern electronics.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the current value in abamperes (abA) into the converter input field
  • Select the unit to convert from as abampere [abA]
  • Choose milliampere [mA] as the unit to convert to
  • Press the convert button to get the equivalent current in milliamperes

Key Features

  • Converts abamperes (abA) to milliamperes (mA) using a defined conversion rate
  • Useful for interpreting historical and theoretical current units in cgs-EMU
  • Browser-based and easy to use for electrical engineering and physics applications
  • Supports calculations relevant for legacy instrument calibration and modern electronics design

Examples

  • 2 abA equals 20000 mA
  • 0.5 abA equals 5000 mA

Common Use Cases

  • Translating historical electrical currents reported in cgs-EMU literature to SI units
  • Performing plasma physics or astrophysics calculations using compatible current units
  • Calibrating legacy instruments that measure electric current with cgs and SI units
  • Specifying and measuring current in low-power electronic components and circuits

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm the unit origin to ensure correct conversion between cgs-EMU and SI systems
  • Use this tool when working with historical or specialized scientific data involving abamperes
  • Cross-check converted values when calibrating instruments or designing sensitive electronic circuits
  • Be aware of the context and units when interpreting converted current measurements

Limitations

  • Abamperes are infrequently used in modern practical electrical measurements
  • Conversion involves units from different measurement systems that may affect interpretation
  • Precision could vary due to rounding between CGS and SI unit systems
  • Users should consider historical context to avoid misapplication of results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an abampere?
An abampere is a cgs-EMU unit of electric current defined by the magnetic force between two parallel conductors 1 cm apart, equal to 10 amperes in SI units.

How many milliamperes are in one abampere?
One abampere equals 10,000 milliamperes.

Why convert abamperes to milliamperes?
Converting abamperes to milliamperes helps translate historical or theoretical current units into practical and commonly used SI subunits for electronics and scientific work.

Is the abampere commonly used today?
Abamperes are rarely used in current practical electrical measurements and mostly appear in historical or specialized scientific contexts.
