Question

A current of 59 μA passes through a wire. What is the value of the current in amperes?

Answer 1

The current of 59 μA is equivalent to 0.000059 A when converted from microamperes to amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A current of 59 μA (microamperes) is equivalent to 59 x 10-6 amperes because the prefix 'micro' means one millionth. Therefore, to convert microamperes to amperes, you can multiply the current in microamperes by 10-6.

The calculation is straightforward:

• Current in amperes = Current in microamperes × 10-6
• Current in amperes = 59 μA × 10-6 A/μA
• Current in amperes = 0.000059 A

So the value of the current in amperes is 0.000059 A.
