Enter the number of megaamperes that you want to convert to abamperes.
How to Convert Megaamperes to Abamperes
The megaampere and abampere are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 megaampere equals exactly 100000 abamperes. This means to convert megaamperes to abamperes, you multiply by 100000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MA to abamperes:
We need to convert megaamperes to abamperes
Since 1 MA = 100000 abA, multiply by 100000
5 × 100000 = 500000
5 MA = 500000 abA

About These Units
Megaampere (MA)
A megaampere (MA) equals 1,000,000 amperes. Found in fusion reactor plasma currents (ITER: 15 MA), lightning return strokes (peak can exceed 1 MA briefly), electromagnetic launchers, and pulsed power systems. Extreme currents creating enormous magnetic fields.
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.
