About Megaamperes per square metre
The megaampere per square metre (MA/m²) equals 10⁶ A/m², encountered in lightning channel physics and pulsed-power fusion devices. Peak current density in a lightning return-stroke channel is 10-100 MA/m²; plasma current sheets in z-pinch implosions reach 1-100 MA/m²; liquid-metal MHD pumps in fast reactors operate at 0.5-5 MA/m². 1 MA/m² = 10⁶ A/m² = 10³ kA/m².
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.
