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.
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.
