Convert Abampere to Gigaampere

Type the number of abamperes that you wish to convert to gigaamperes.

1 abA (abamperes) = 1e-8 GA (gigaamperes)

How to Convert Abamperes to Gigaamperes

The abampere and gigaampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 gigaampere equals exactly 100000000 abamperes. This means to convert abamperes to gigaamperes, you divide by 100000000.

Formula

gigaamperes = abamperes ÷ 100000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 abA to gigaamperes:

1
Convert 5 abA to gigaamperes

We need to convert abamperes to gigaamperes

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 GA = 100000000 abA, divide by 100000000

5 ÷ 100000000 = 5e-8

Answer

5 abA = 5e-8 GA

About These Units

Abampere (abA)

An abampere (abA), also called biot, is the CGS electromagnetic unit of current equal to exactly 10 amperes. Defined so that two parallel wires 1 cm apart carrying 1 abampere each exert 2 dynes per cm of force. One ampere = 0.1 abamperes.

Gigaampere (GA)

A gigaampere (GA) equals 10⁹ amperes. Observed only in extreme astrophysical phenomena: neutron star magnetospheres, solar flares, and relativistic jets from black holes. Earth's core generates currents estimated in the gigaampere range.
