Convert Femtoampere to Abampere
Input the number of femtoamperes you want to convert to abamperes.
How to Convert Femtoamperes to Abamperes
The femtoampere and abampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 abampere equals exactly 1e16 femtoamperes. This means to convert femtoamperes to abamperes, you divide by 1e16.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 fA to abamperes:
We need to convert femtoamperes to abamperes
Since 1 abA = 1e16 fA, divide by 1e16
5 ÷ 1e16 = 5e-16
5 fA = 5e-16 abA

About These Units
Femtoampere (fA)
A femtoampere (fA) equals 10⁻¹⁵ amperes or about 6,242 electrons per second. Used in quantum devices, single-electron transistors, and cutting-edge neuroscience. The current from a single electron per second is 0.16 fA. Requires specialized low-noise amplifiers.
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.
