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).
Milliampere (mA)
Definition: A milliampere (symbol: mA) is one thousandth of an ampere (10⁻³ A). This unit is practical for measuring smaller currents typical in electronic circuits.
History: Derived from the ampere with the metric prefix 'milli-' (thousandth). Gained importance with the development of sensitive electronic devices in the 20th century.
Current use: Commonly used to measure currents in consumer electronics (smartphones draw 100-500mA), sensor circuits, and medical devices (EEG machines typically use mA ranges).
