EMU of current

EMU

Definition

The EMU (Electromagnetic Unit) of current is a unit in the CGS electromagnetic system, equal to 10 amperes. It was used in scientific measurements and electromagnetic calculations before the widespread adoption of the SI system, providing a coherent unit for electromagnetic phenomena.

History/Origin

The EMU system was developed as part of the CGS electromagnetic system in the late 19th century, providing a coherent set of units for electromagnetic measurements. The EMU of current was defined to maintain consistency with other electromagnetic units in the system, though it has been largely superseded by the SI ampere.

Current Use

The EMU of current is rarely used in modern practice, having been replaced by the SI ampere. It may appear in historical scientific literature or specialized contexts where CGS electromagnetic units are referenced, but contemporary electrical engineering and physics use the ampere and its decimal multiples exclusively.

ESU of current

ESU

Definition

The ESU (Electrostatic Unit) of current is a unit in the CGS electrostatic system, equal to approximately 3.335641 × 10⁻¹⁰ amperes. It represents an extremely small current and was used in electrostatic measurements and calculations before the adoption of the SI system.
