Key Features

  • Converts electric current from biot (CGS-emu) to statampere (CGS-esu)
  • Supports analyzing classical and historical electromagnetism data
  • Browser-based and easy to use for educational and research purposes
  • Facilitates comparison of CGS electromagnetic and electrostatic unit systems

Examples

  • 2 Bi converts to 59958490736.862 stA
  • 0.5 Bi converts to 14989622684.216 stA

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting 19th-century electromagnetic literature using CGS-emu and CGS-esu units
  • Converting legacy electrical current measurements between CGS subsystems and SI
  • Comparing electromagnetic and electrostatic formulations in plasma physics and electrodynamics research
  • Educational demonstrations of different classical electromagnetic unit systems

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm the physical context when converting between CGS subsystems due to unit system differences
  • Take care with the large conversion factor to maintain unit consistency and avoid errors
  • Use this tool primarily for theoretical analysis, historical data, or teaching purposes
  • Understand that biot and statampere are rarely used in modern practical current measurements

Limitations

  • Biot and statampere belong to distinct CGS subsystems (emu vs esu) limiting direct measurement applications
  • The units are largely obsolete and rarely used in current practical electrical measurements
  • Careful attention to unit definitions and physical context is essential due to the large conversion factor

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a biot (Bi) unit?
The biot (Bi) is the CGS electromagnetic unit of electric current, historically used in classical electromagnetic theory and equivalent to 10 amperes in the SI system.

How is the statampere (stA) defined?
The statampere (stA) is the electric current unit in the CGS electrostatic system, equal to one statcoulomb per second and used in theoretical and historical electromagnetic contexts.

Why convert between biot and statampere units?
