Milliamp to Amp Converter
How to Convert Milliamps to Amps
Milliamp to Amp is a conversion process used in electrical systems to express current in larger units. Milliamps (mA) measure the flow of electric charge in smaller units, while amps (A) are a larger unit, where 1000 milliamps equal 1 Amp. This conversion is useful for understanding current flow in larger circuits and devices.
Milliamps to Amps Formula
Quick Trick: Amps (A) = Milliamps (mA) ÷ 1000!
How to Calculate Milliamps to Amps?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Milliamps to Amps using the formula: A = mA ÷ 1000.
- First, determine the current in milliamps (mA).
- Next, use the formula A = mA ÷ 1000 to calculate the current in amps (A).
- Finally, calculate the Milliamps to Amps.
After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem
Use the following variable as an example problem to test your knowledge:
- Current (mA): 2000
Here’s how we figure it out:
1. Use the formula: A = mA ÷ 1000
2. Put in Current = 2000 mA
3. Calculate A = 2000 ÷ 1000
4. A = 2 Amps
Answer: 2 Amps
