Convert ESU of Current to Picoampere

Type the number of esu that you wish to convert to picoamperes.

1 esu (esu) = 333.5641 pA (picoamperes)

How to Convert ESU to Picoamperes

The esu of current and picoampere are both units of electric current. 1 esu of current equals 333.5641 picoamperes. This means to convert esu to picoamperes, you multiply by 333.5641.

Formula

picoamperes = esu × 333.5641

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 esu to picoamperes:

1
Convert 5 esu to picoamperes

We need to convert esu to picoamperes

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 esu = 333.5641 pA, multiply by 333.5641

5 × 333.5641 = 1667.8205

Answer

5 esu = 1667.8205 pA

About These Units

ESU of Current (esu)

The ESU (electrostatic unit) of current is identical to the statampere, equal to approximately 3.336×10⁻¹⁰ amperes. Part of the Gaussian CGS system. Represents the flow of one statcoulomb per second. Found in theoretical physics contexts.

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.
