About Milliamperes per square centimetre

The milliampere per square centimetre (mA/cm²) equals 10 A/m², the dominant current density unit in electrochemistry and fuel-cell engineering. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells produce peak power at 1000-2000 mA/cm²; hydrogen electrolysers run at 200-2000 mA/cm²; industrial chlor-alkali cells operate at 200-400 mA/cm². 1 mA/cm² = 10 A/m² = 10⁻³ A/cm².

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.
