ampere to microampere
Convert ampere (A) to microampere (μA). Use an editable electric current converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 A = 1,000,000 μA
Conversion formula
One ampere equals 1,000,000 microampere. Multiply your value in ampere by this factor to get microampere. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 ampere:5 × 1,000,000 = 5,000,000 μA
Conversion table
| ampere (A) | microampere (μA) |

About these measurements
Electric current is the rate of electric charge flow.
The base reference used here is the ampere. One ampere is 1 base units; one microampere is 0.000001 base units.
Important distinctions
Current units describe the same quantity; AC RMS and DC values are not interchangeable measurements.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert A to μA?
Multiply the quantity in A by 1,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the microampere to ampere converter.
