About Kiloamperes per square metre
The kiloampere per square metre (kA/m²) equals 10³ A/m², the scale for aluminium smelting, high-rate electroplating, and bus bar design. Hall-Heroult aluminium reduction cells operate at 3-10 kA/m²; electric arc furnace graphite electrodes carry 50-150 kA/m²; allowable current density in copper bus bars for switchgear is 1-3 kA/m². 1 kA/m² = 10³ A/m² = 100 mA/cm².
About Statamperes per square centimetre
The statampere per square centimetre (statA/cm²) is the current density unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to 1000/c A/m² where c = 299 792 458 m/s, giving ≈3.336 × 10⁻⁶ A/m². In Gaussian electrodynamics the statA/cm² is the natural current density when fields are in statV/cm; it appears in plasma physics texts using Gaussian units. 1 statA/cm² ≈ 3.336 µA/m².
