Convert Biot to Abampere

Convert biots to abamperes by entering a value below.

1 Bi (biots) = 1 abA (abamperes)

How to Convert Biots to Abamperes

The biot and abampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 biot equals exactly 1 abamperes. This means to convert biots to abamperes, you multiply by 1.

Formula

abamperes = biots × 1

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 Bi to abamperes:

1
Convert 5 Bi to abamperes

We need to convert biots to abamperes

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 Bi = 1 abA, multiply by 1

5 × 1 = 5

Answer

5 Bi = 5 abA

About These Units

Biot (Bi)

The biot (Bi) is identical to the abampere, equal to 10 amperes. Named after French physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot who studied electromagnetism. Used in the CGS electromagnetic system. One ampere equals 0.1 biots. Rarely used today.

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.
