Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an ampere?
- An ampere is the SI base unit of electric current, defined by the rate of electric charge flow equivalent to one coulomb per second.
- Why convert ampere to CGS e.s. units?
- This conversion is useful for interpreting physics literature and data that uses the CGS electrostatic system, especially in older or theoretical research.
- Is this conversion used in everyday electrical work?
- No, CGS e.s. units are primarily of academic interest and are uncommon in contemporary engineering or practical electrical applications.
