## What is Electric Current Conversion?
Electric current conversion involves changing measurements of electrical charge flow between different units. Current, measured in amperes, is one of the fundamental quantities in electrical engineering. Our converter handles everything from tiny sensor currents to industrial power systems.
// Common Current Units Explained
// The SI base unit of electric current. One ampere is one coulomb of charge per second. A typical smartphone charger provides 1-3A.
// One thousandth of an ampere. Common for electronics and LED specifications. 20mA is typical for an LED.
// One millionth of an ampere. Used for sensitive electronics and sensor currents.
When to Use This Converter
Our current converter is essential for electrical engineers designing power systems, electronics hobbyists building circuits, electricians sizing wires, and technicians troubleshooting electrical problems.
## Frequently Asked Questions
01 ### Q: What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance?
Ohm Law: V = I × R. Voltage equals current times resistance. This is fundamental to all electrical calculations.
*/02 ### Q: How much current is dangerous?
Currents as low as 10-20mA through the heart can be lethal. This is why electrical safety focuses on preventing current flow through the body.
