Convert Megaampere to Biot
Type the number of megaamperes that you wish to convert to biots.
How to Convert Megaamperes to Biots
The megaampere and biot are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 megaampere equals exactly 100000 biots. This means to convert megaamperes to biots, you multiply by 100000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MA to biots:
We need to convert megaamperes to biots
Since 1 MA = 100000 Bi, multiply by 100000
5 × 100000 = 500000
5 MA = 500000 Bi

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.
Biot (Bi)
The biot (Bi) is identical to the abampere, equal to 10 amperes. Named after French physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot who studied electromagnetism. Used in the CGS electromagnetic system. One ampere equals 0.1 biots. Rarely used today.
