Kiloampere (kA)
Definition: A kiloampere (symbol: kA) equals one thousand amperes (10³ A). This large unit measures substantial currents like those in power transmission.
History: Developed for industrial-scale electrical applications as power systems expanded in the early 20th century.
Current use: Used in power distribution (substation transformers handle kA currents), industrial electrolysis, and lightning research (a lightning strike averages 30kA).
Microampere (µA)
Definition: A microampere (symbol: µA) is one millionth of an ampere (10⁻⁶ A). Used for measuring very small currents in sensitive applications.
History: Became significant with the development of semiconductor technology and precision instruments in the mid-20th century.
Current use: Essential for measuring leakage currents in semiconductors, biomedical sensors, and the dark current in photodiodes. Common in low-power circuit design.
