About Abamperes per square centimetre

The abampere per square centimetre (abA/cm²) is the current density unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10 A / 10⁻⁴ m² = 10⁵ A/m². The abampere (= 10 A exactly) was the CGS-EMU base current unit before SI adoption; in EMU notation Ampère’s law uses J in abA/cm² and magnetic field in gauss without additional conversion factors. 1 abA/cm² = 10⁵ A/m² = 10 A/cm².

About Amperes per square centimetre

The ampere per square centimetre (A/cm²) equals 10⁴ A/m², the standard current density unit for power electronics, arc physics, and high-performance batteries. Bipolar junction transistor saturation current density is 0.5-5 A/cm²; vacuum arc contact spots on copper carry 100-1000 A/cm²; fast-charge lithium-ion cathodes support up to 0.05 A/cm². 1 A/cm² = 10⁴ A/m² = 10 kA/m².
