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).
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.
