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

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.
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.
