Electric current unit conversion table
This table contains conversions between almost all electric current units. Some units of electric current are common and some are relatively rare. This is a good query tool.
| Name of unit | Symbol | Definition | Relation to SI units |
|---|---|---|---|
| ampere( SI base unit) | A | ≡ The constant current needed to produce a force of 2 ×10 − 7newton per metre between two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross-section placed one metre apart in a vacuum. | = 1 A = 1 C/s |
| electromagnetic unit; abampere ( cgs unit) | abamp | ≡ 10 A | = 10 A |
| esu per second; statampere ( cgs unit) | esu/s | ≡ 0.1 A·m/s⁄ c | ≈ 3.335 641×10 −10 A |
