Convert Gigaampere to Abampere
Input the number of gigaamperes you want to convert to abamperes.
How to Convert Gigaamperes to Abamperes
The gigaampere and abampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 gigaampere equals exactly 100000000 abamperes. This means to convert gigaamperes to abamperes, you multiply by 100000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 GA to abamperes:
We need to convert gigaamperes to abamperes
Since 1 GA = 100000000 abA, multiply by 100000000
5 × 100000000 = 500000000
5 GA = 500000000 abA

About These Units
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.
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.
