Unit Description

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.

Statampere (statA)

Definition

A statampere (statA) is a unit of electric current in the electrostatic CGS system, equal to approximately 3.336 × 10⁻¹⁰ amperes in SI units. It was defined based on electrostatic force rather than magnetic effects.

History

The statampere was developed as part of the electrostatic CGS unit system in the late 19th century. It was designed to simplify electrostatic equations by making the permittivity of free space dimensionless, though it resulted in very small numerical values for practical currents.

Current Use

Statamperes are obsolete in modern applications and appear only in historical scientific literature or specialized theoretical physics contexts. They've been completely replaced by SI units in all practical and educational applications.
