Ampere (A)
The ampere (A) is the SI base unit of electric current — one coulomb of charge passing a point per second.
Amperes quantify circuit current, fuse ratings, charger output, and any flow of electric charge in conductors.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 A = 1000 mA
1 mA = 0.001 A
To convert ampere to milliampere, multiply by 1000.
To convert milliampere to ampere, multiply by 0.001.
Example: convert 10 A to mA
10 × 1000 = 10000 mA
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The ampere (A) is the SI base unit of electric current — one coulomb of charge passing a point per second.
Amperes quantify circuit current, fuse ratings, charger output, and any flow of electric charge in conductors.
The milliampere (mA) equals 0.001 ampere — the everyday unit on battery labels, LED specs, and low-power electronics.
Milliamperes appear on coin-cell datasheets, USB charging labels, and sensor current-draw specifications.
mA = A × 1,000A = mA × 0.001, using the same exact factors as this converter.
