What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate electric current values measured in statamperes, a unit from the cgs electrostatic system, into milliamperes, which are widely used in modern electronic and scientific contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric current value in statamperes (stA).
  • Select statampere as the input unit and milliampere as the output unit.
  • Click convert to see the equivalent value in milliamperes (mA).

Key Features

  • Supports conversion between statampere (stA) and milliampere (mA) current units
  • Accurate reflection of the small scale difference between cgs and SI units
  • Browser-based and easy to use for theoretical, historical, and practical conversions

Examples

  • Convert 2 stA to mA: 2 × 3.335641e-7 mA = 6.671282e-7 mA
  • Convert 5 stA to mA: 5 × 3.335641e-7 mA = 1.6678205e-6 mA

Common Use Cases

  • Translating theoretical plasma physics calculations from cgs to SI units
  • Interpreting legacy experimental data expressed in the cgs electrostatic system
  • Applying historical scientific formulas and results into practical electronic measurements

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct selection of statampere as the input and milliampere as the output unit
  • Use this converter to compare and apply older scientific data in modern contexts
  • Handle the very small resulting numeric values with appropriate precision

Limitations

  • Statampere is rarely used in modern practical applications, mainly relevant for theoretical or historical purposes
  • Conversion results are extremely small values requiring careful numerical handling to avoid errors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statampere?
A statampere is a unit of electric current in the cgs electrostatic system, equal to one statcoulomb per second, used mostly in theoretical or historical physics contexts.

What does a milliampere represent?
A milliampere is one thousandth of an ampere, the SI unit for electric current, commonly used to measure currents in electronic devices.

Why convert statamperes to milliamperes?
Conversion helps translate legacy or theoretical current measurements from the cgs system into practical SI units for modern analysis and electronics design.

Key Terminology

Statampere (stA)
