Unit Description
Milliampere (mA)
Definition
A milliampere (mA) is a unit of electric current equal to one thousandth of an ampere. It represents small current levels typically found in electronic circuits, sensors, and low-power devices.
History
The milliampere became important with the development of electronics and precision electrical measurements in the early 20th century. It provided a convenient scale for measuring currents in radio circuits, early computers, and electronic instruments where currents were much smaller than those in power applications.
Current Use
Milliamperes are extensively used in electronics, medical devices, sensors, and low-power circuits. They're standard for measuring current consumption in smartphones, LED circuits, biomedical sensors, and electronic control systems. Most electronic specifications use milliamperes.
Nanoampere (nA)
Definition
A nanoampere (nA) is a unit of electric current equal to one billionth of an ampere. It represents extremely small current levels found in advanced semiconductor devices, biological research, and precision measurement instruments.
History
The nanoampere became important with the development of advanced semiconductor technology and precision biological measurements in the late 20th century. It was essential for characterizing modern transistors, studying cellular electrical activity, and measuring ultra-low currents in research applications.
Current Use
Nanoamperes are used in advanced semiconductor characterization, biological research, precision instrumentation, and nanotechnology. They're critical for measuring currents in modern transistors, studying ion channels in cells, and characterizing ultra-low-power electronic devices.
