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.
Ampere (A)
Definition: The ampere (symbol: A) is the SI base unit of electric current, defined as the constant current that, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross-section placed one meter apart in a vacuum, would produce a force equal to 2×10⁻⁷ newtons per meter of length.
History: Named after André-Marie Ampère, one of the founders of electrodynamics. Originally defined in 1881 through electrolysis, it was redefined in 1948 based on the force between wires, and again in 2019 as part of the SI redefinition using the elementary charge.
Current use: Fundamental to all electrical measurements, used in circuit design, power systems, and electronics. The standard unit for measuring current flow in everything from household appliances to industrial machinery.
