You can do the reverse unit conversion from amp to centiampere, or enter any two units below:
The SI prefix "centi" represents a factor of 10-2, or in exponential notation, 1E-2.
So 1 centiampere = 10-2 ampere.
In physics, the ampere (symbol: A, often informally abbreviated to amp) is the SI base unit used to measure electrical currents. The present definition, adopted by the 9th CGPM in 1948 is: "one ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10-7 newton per metre of length".
