Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EMU of current?
EMU of current is a unit of electric current from the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic system, also known as the abampere, equal to 10 amperes in SI units.

Why convert EMU of current to milliampere?
Converting helps translate older electromagnetic measurements into the modern SI unit milliampere, enabling compatibility with current electronic and engineering applications.

What should I be careful about when converting EMU to mA?
Since 1 EMU of current equals 10000 mA, it's important to handle the large scale difference carefully to avoid numeric errors.
