milliampere to ampere
Please provide values below to convert milliampere [mA] to ampere [A], or change ↔.
milliampere [mA]
Definition: A unit of electric current equal to one-thousandth (1/1000) of an ampere.
Historyandorigin: The metric prefix 'milli' denotes a factor of one-thousandth.
CurrentUse: Widely used for smaller current measurements, like in electronics, microcontrollers, and household appliances.
funfact: In devices like smartphones or sensors, currents are often measured in milliamperes, as these devices consume very low currents!
ampere [A]
Definition: The SI base unit of electric current, representing one coulomb of charge passing through a point in one second.
Historyandorigin: Named after André-Marie Ampère, the French physicist who is considered one of the founders of electromagnetism.
CurrentUse: Widely used in all electrical and electronic applications worldwide. It's the fundamental unit for electrical engineering.
funfact: The ampere is so fundamental that it's used to define the unit of electric charge, the coulomb, and is central to the workings of circuits and power systems!

How to Convert milliampere to ampere
1 milliampere [mA] = 0.001 ampere [A]
1 ampere [A] = 1000 milliampere [mA]
we use cross multiplication method
milliampere [mA] → ampere [A]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
