Convert Amps to Abamperes
Input the number of amperes you want to convert to abamperes.
How to Convert Amperes to Abamperes
The ampere and abampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 abampere equals exactly 10 amperes. This means to convert amperes to abamperes, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 A to abamperes:
We need to convert amperes to abamperes
Since 1 abA = 10 A, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 A = 0.5 abA

About These Units
Ampere (A)
The ampere (A or amp) is the SI base unit of electric current, defined by the flow of elementary charges per second. Named after physicist André-Marie Ampère. Common currents: LED 20 mA, USB 0.5-3 A, household outlet 15-20 A, electric car charger 32-80 A. Formula: I = V/R (Ohm's law).
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.
