Exact RatioAbout Ampere per Meter (Linear Current) (A/m)
The SI coherent derived unit of linear current density (surface current per unit width), defined as one ampere of current flowing across a transverse boundary width of one meter (K = dI / dl_perp). Dimensionally equivalent to magnetic field strength H.
History: Formulated in Maxwellโs equations to express the surface current discontinuity boundary condition across magnetic interfaces (n ร (Hโ - Hโ) = K).
Common Uses: Superconducting thin-film critical current per width, planar electromagnetic sheet antenna modeling, printed circuit ground plane return current distributions.
About Ampere per Centimeter (Linear Current) (A/cm)
A metric unit of linear current density equal to 100 A/m.
History: Standard industrial unit in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape specifications.
Common Uses: Commercial REBCO high-temperature superconducting tape critical current per width (typically 200โ500 A/cm at 77 K).
โ Frequently Asked Questions
How many Amperes per Centimeter (Linear Current) are in 1 Ampere per Meter (Linear Current)?
