How to Convert Picoamperes to ESU
The picoampere and esu of current are both units of electric current. 1 esu of current equals 333.5641 picoamperes. This means to convert picoamperes to esu, you divide by 333.5641.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pA to esu:
We need to convert picoamperes to esu
Since 1 esu = 333.5641 pA, divide by 333.5641
5 ÷ 333.5641 = 0.0149896227
5 pA = 0.0149896227 esu

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.
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.
