Convert Picoampere to EMU of Current
Input the number of picoamperes you want to convert to emu.
How to Convert Picoamperes to EMU
The picoampere and emu of current are both units of electric current. By definition, 1 emu of current equals exactly 1e13 picoamperes. This means to convert picoamperes to emu, you divide by 1e13.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pA to emu:
We need to convert picoamperes to emu
Since 1 emu = 1e13 pA, divide by 1e13
5 ÷ 1e13 = 5e-13
5 pA = 5e-13 emu

About These Units
Picoampere (pA)
A picoampere (pA) equals 10⁻¹² amperes. Used in patch clamp electrophysiology measuring ion channel currents (1-100 pA), electrochemistry, radiation detectors, and precision instrumentation. Single ion channels conduct about 1-10 pA.
EMU of Current (emu)
The EMU (electromagnetic unit) of current is identical to the abampere, equal to exactly 10 amperes. Part of the CGS electromagnetic system. Used in some older physics and engineering references. SI ampere preferred in modern applications.
