Convert EMU of Current to Gigaampere
Convert emu to gigaamperes by entering a value below.
How to Convert EMU to Gigaamperes
The emu of current and gigaampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 gigaampere equals exactly 100000000 emu. This means to convert emu to gigaamperes, you divide by 100000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 emu to gigaamperes:
We need to convert emu to gigaamperes
Since 1 GA = 100000000 emu, divide by 100000000
5 ÷ 100000000 = 5e-8
5 emu = 5e-8 GA

About These Units
EMU of Current (emu)
The EMU (electromagnetic unit) of current is identical to the abampere, equal to exactly 10 amperes. Part of the CGS electromagnetic system. Used in some older physics and engineering references. SI ampere preferred in modern applications.
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.
