Convert Abampere to Megaampere
Convert abamperes to megaamperes by entering a value below.
How to Convert Abamperes to Megaamperes
The abampere and megaampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 megaampere equals exactly 100000 abamperes. This means to convert abamperes to megaamperes, you divide by 100000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 abA to megaamperes:
We need to convert abamperes to megaamperes
Since 1 MA = 100000 abA, divide by 100000
5 ÷ 100000 = 5e-5
5 abA = 5e-5 MA

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.
Megaampere (MA)
A megaampere (MA) equals 1,000,000 amperes. Found in fusion reactor plasma currents (ITER: 15 MA), lightning return strokes (peak can exceed 1 MA briefly), electromagnetic launchers, and pulsed power systems. Extreme currents creating enormous magnetic fields.
