Convert EMU of Current to Picoampere
Type the number of emu that you wish to convert to picoamperes.
How to Convert EMU to Picoamperes
The emu of current and picoampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 emu of current equals exactly 1e13 picoamperes. This means to convert emu to picoamperes, you multiply by 1e13.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 emu to picoamperes:
We need to convert emu to picoamperes
Since 1 emu = 1e13 pA, multiply by 1e13
5 × 1e13 = 5e13
5 emu = 5e13 pA

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.
Picoampere (pA)
A picoampere (pA) equals 10⁻¹² amperes. Used in patch clamp electrophysiology measuring ion channel currents (1-100 pA), electrochemistry, radiation detectors, and precision instrumentation. Single ion channels conduct about 1-10 pA.
