centiampere to nanoampere
Convert centiampere (cA) to nanoampere (nA). Use an editable electric current converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cA = 10,000,000 nA
Conversion formula
One centiampere equals 10,000,000 nanoampere. Multiply your value in centiampere by this factor to get nanoampere. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centiampere:5 × 10,000,000 = 50,000,000 nA

About these measurements
Electric current is the rate of electric charge flow.
The base reference used here is the ampere. One centiampere is 0.01 base units; one nanoampere is 1e-9 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 cA to nA?
Multiply the quantity in cA by 10,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the nanoampere to centiampere converter.
