ELECTRIC CURRENT

Electric current-time rate of flow of charge in a conductor.

                                        i=q/t

Unit of current =coulomb/sec or ampere.

                                     (scalar quantity)

Ampere is defined as the unit of electric current that is equal to the flow of one Coulomb per second.

Conversion of amps (A) to kiloamps(kA)

One kiloamp (kA) equals a thousand amps (A).

1 kA = 1000 A or 1 × 10³  A

For example, 5 amperes of current can be converted to kiloamperes as follows:

5 A × 1000 = 5000 A or 5 kA

Conversion amps (A) to milliamps (mA)

One milliampere is equal to 1000 amperes.

1 mA = 1000 A

For example, 2 A to milliampere is converted as follows:

2 A/1000 = 0.002 A or 2 × 10^-3 A = 2 mA

Conversion of amps (A) to microamps (μA)

One Ampere is equal to 1000000 or 10^-6 microamperes.

1 μA = 1000000 A

For example, 5 A is converted to microamps as follows:

5 A / 1000000  = 0.000005 A or 5 × 10^-6  A = 5 μA
