Method and calculation
Convert electric current through the ampere: value × source factor / target factor. Factors relative to ampere: A = 1; mA = 0.001; µA = 0.000001; nA = 1e-9; kA = 1000.
Inputs and settings
Electric Current Converter accepts Value (minimum 0); From unit (A, mA, µA, nA, kA); To unit (A, mA, µA, nA, kA).
Worked example
Electric Current Converter example — Value: 1; From unit: "A"; To unit: "mA". Computed output: { "value": 1000, "unit": "mA", "baseValue": 1, "baseUnit": "ampere" }
Output and limitations
Current is the rate at which electric charge crosses a section of a conductor. Ampere prefixes cover large supply currents and small leakage measurements. Keep RMS and peak readings distinct: changing from amperes to milliamperes does not convert waveform statistics.
