Convert Microamperes to Abamperes
Convert Microamperes (µA) to Abamperes (abA) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abA = µA × 1.000000000e-7
About Microamperes
The microampere (µA) equals 10⁻⁶ A, common in low-power sensor circuits, analogue signal conditioning, and bioelectrical measurement. Surface ECG electrodes record body currents of 1-100 µA; a 1 mW signal at 5 V draws 200 µA; modern low-power microcontrollers sleep at 1-10 µA, enabling coin-cell operation for months or years. 1 µA = 10⁻³ mA = 10³ nA.
About Abamperes
The abampere (abA), also called the biot (Bi), equals exactly 10 A - the current unit of the CGS-EMU (electromagnetic) system. Two long parallel wires each carrying 1 abA and separated by 1 cm experience a force of exactly 2 dyn per centimetre; this definition directly parallels the original 1948 SI definition of the ampere. The abampere appears in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century electrical engineering literature. 1 abA = 1 Bi = 10 A.
