How to use this Table for Conversion?
We can use the following table to convert between any two units as follows:
- To convert a value from one unit to another, multiply by the corresponding factor in the table.
For example, to convert 4 Ampere to Milliampere, multiply by 1000, resulting in 4000 mA.
- Conversely, to convert from Milliampere to Ampere, multiply by the factor in the Ampere row under the Milliampere column.
For example, converting 4 mA to Ampere involves multiplying by 0.001, resulting in 0.004 A.
Unit of Current
Electric current is the flow of electric charge in a conductor. In our daily lives, electric currents play a pivotal role. Whether in classrooms or homes, understanding the flow of current is essential. Scientifically, electric current refers to the movement of charge in circuits, sometimes carried by both ions and electrons. The unit of current, known as the Ampere (A), enables us to quantify this flow. Let’s learn about it all.
