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.
Gilbert (Gb)
The gilbert (Gb) is the CGS unit of magnetomotive force (MMF), equal to 10/4π ≈ 0.796 ampere-turns. While technically a unit of MMF rather than current, it's dimensionally related. Named after William Gilbert. One ampere-turn equals 1.257 gilberts.
