ampere to kiloampere
Please provide values below to convert ampere [A] to kiloampere [kA], or change ↔.
ampere [A]
Definition: The SI base unit of electric current, representing one coulomb of charge passing through a point in one second.
Historyandorigin: Named after André-Marie Ampère, the French physicist who is considered one of the founders of electromagnetism.
CurrentUse: Widely used in all electrical and electronic applications worldwide. It's the fundamental unit for electrical engineering.
funfact: The ampere is so fundamental that it's used to define the unit of electric charge, the coulomb, and is central to the workings of circuits and power systems!
kiloampere [kA]
Definition: A unit of electric current equivalent to 1,000 amperes.
Historyandorigin: A metric prefix 'kilo' meaning 1,000 is added to the base unit ampere.
CurrentUse: Used for large current measurements, like in industrial or electrical power systems. Found in applications such as electric power transmission and large-scale electroplating.
funfact: Kiloadmperes are often used when working with massive electrical systems such as power substations or for high-capacity machinery!

How to Convert ampere to kiloampere
1 ampere [A] = 0.001 kiloampere [kA]
1 kiloampere [kA] = 1000 ampere [A]
we use cross multiplication method
ampere [A] → kiloampere [kA]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
