Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an ampere (A)?
- An ampere is the SI base unit of electric current, defined as one coulomb of charge passing a point per second and realized by fixing the elementary charge.
- What is a statampere (stA)?
- A statampere is an electric current unit in the cgs electrostatic system, equal to one statcoulomb per second, used mainly in theoretical and historical contexts.
- Why convert from ampere to statampere?
- Conversion is useful for comparing and translating electric current values and theoretical results between SI and Gaussian/cgs unit systems, especially in plasma physics and analytical electrodynamics.
