Remarks

This class behaves just like a Double representing a current in amperes; it is implicitly castable to and from a Double and therefore can be generally used "as" a double, but it has the advantage of handling conversions to and from other current representations, specifically abampere (a.k.a., an electromagnetic unit) and statampere (a.k.a., esu per second). Metric conversions are handled simply by applying the needed SI conversion factor, for example:

Example

Convert current, in amperes, to kiloamperes:

Copy

public double GetKiloamperes(Current amperes)
{
    return amperes / SI.Kilo;
}
