What is Electric Current Converter?
Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge. It measures how many coulombs of charge pass a given point per second. Current is one of the seven SI base quantities and powers all electrical devices from microchips to power grids.
Understanding the Units
Ampere (A)
The SI base unit of electric current. One ampere equals one coulomb of charge flowing per second.
Common Uses: Household circuits, motors, battery chargers
Milliampere (mA)
One-thousandth of an ampere.
Common Uses: Electronic circuits, sensors, LED indicators
Conversion: 1 A = 1,000 mA
Microampere (µA)
One-millionth of an ampere.
Common Uses: Precision sensors, bioelectrical measurements
Conversion: 1 mA = 1,000 µA
Biot (Bi)
CGS unit of current, equal to 10 amperes.
Common Uses: Older scientific literature
Conversion: 1 Bi = 10 A
Common Conversions
- LED indicator light: 20 mA = 0.02 A
- USB 2.0 charging: 500 mA = 0.5 A
- Smartphone fast charging: 2–3 A
- Household circuit (US): 15–20 A
- Car starter motor: 100–200 A
Conversion Formulas
- Current = Charge ÷ Time (I = Q/t)
- Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage ÷ Resistance (I = V/R)
- Power relation: Current = Power ÷ Voltage (I = P/V)
- A to mA: mA = A × 1,000
- mA to µA: µA = mA × 1,000
Practical Examples
USB-C fast charging: 3–5 A at 20 V = 60–100 W power
Electric vehicle Level 2 charger: 32 A at 240 V = 7.7 kW
Human electric shock sensation threshold: ~1 mA
Cardiac defibrillator peak current: ~30–45 A for a few milliseconds
