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 Statamperes
The statampere (statA) is the current unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to 1 statC/s = 1/(10c) A ≈ 3.336 × 10⁻¹⁰ A (exact, since c = 2.997 924 58 × 10⁸ m/s is exact). Two long parallel wires each carrying 1 statA and separated by 1 cm experience a force of 1/c² dyn per centimetre. The statampere is used in electrostatics texts where Coulomb's law is written without ε₀. 1 statA ≈ 333.6 pA.
