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.
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.
