Electric Current Converter
Electric current measures the flow of electric charge. The SI unit is the ampere, defined since 2019 by fixing the elementary charge. Small electronics work in milliamperes and microamperes, while power distribution and welding reach kiloamperes. Older texts use CGS units such as the abampere and statampere.
