Microampere Converters

Convert microamperes to milliamperes, amperes, nanoamperes, picoamperes and other electric current units.

What this tool does

Convert microamperes to milliamperes, amperes, nanoamperes, picoamperes and other electric current units. Type an amount in microamperes, choose the units, and the tool converts it to milliamperes. It offers 7 electric current units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Kiloampere, Ampere, Milliampere, Microampere, Nanoampere, Picoampere, Abampere (biot). Starts as Microampere.
  • To: Choose one of the same 7 units as "From". Starts as Milliampere.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from microamperes to milliamperes:

  • 1 µA = 0.001 mA
  • 5 µA = 0.005 mA
  • 10 µA = 0.01 mA
  • 50 µA = 0.05 mA
  • 100 µA = 0.1 mA

Multiply the number of microamperes by 0.001 to get milliamperes. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.001 is the exact factor: 1 µA = 0.001 mA.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of an electric current only. It does not work out current from power, voltage or resistance.
  • The abampere is a historical CGS unit, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How many milliamperes is one microampere?
A: One microampere is 0.001 milliampere, and 1000 microamperes make one milliampere.
Q: How many microamperes are in an ampere?
A: One ampere is 1,000,000 microamperes (one million).
Q: Is uA the same as µA?
A: Yes. uA is the plain-keyboard way to write µA, the symbol for the microampere.
