How to use Current Converter

Type a current in any field. Each metric-prefixed unit is scaled to amperes, then converted back out to all other units live.

Frequently asked questions

How many milliamps are in an amp?

1 A equals 1000 mA; the metric milli prefix means one-thousandth of the base ampere.

What is the base unit?

The ampere (A) is the SI base for current in this tool, and every prefix scales from it.

How small is a microampere?

1 µA is 10⁻⁶ A, so one ampere contains one million microamperes — common in low-power sensors.
