Statampere

stA

Definition

The Statampere (stA) is a unit of electric current 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.

History/Origin

The statampere was part of the CGS electrostatic system developed in the late 19th century, providing units for electrostatic measurements. The prefix "stat" indicates its electrostatic origin, and the unit was defined to maintain consistency with other electrostatic units in the CGS system.

Current Use

The statampere is rarely used in modern practice, having been replaced by the SI ampere. It may occasionally appear in historical scientific literature or specialized contexts where CGS electrostatic units are discussed, but contemporary electrical engineering uses the ampere and its decimal multiples exclusively.

CGS e.m. unit

CGS em

Definition

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

History/Origin

The CGS electromagnetic unit was part of the CGS electromagnetic system developed in the late 19th century, providing a coherent set of units for electromagnetic measurements. The abbreviation "e.m." stands for "electromagnetic," distinguishing it from electrostatic units in the CGS system.

Current Use

The CGS electromagnetic unit of current is rarely used in modern practice, having been replaced by the SI ampere.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