The picoampere (symbol: pA) is a unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one trillionth of an ampere, which is the base unit of electric current. In other words, 1 picoampere is one thousandth of a microampere, or a billionth of an ampere.To give you an idea of its magnitude, here are a few examples of picoampere currents:<em> The typical current in a digital logic circuit running at 4.2 nanoamperes (4.2 pA) per transistor.</em> The current in a human brain is around 100,000 times larger than a picoampere, approximately 2-5 milliamperes. The current in an electric eel is approximately 500 microamperes to 1 milliamperes. Picoamperes are usually measured in laboratory settings or in the context of very low-power electronic devices.
A measure of radioactivity. One picocurie (pCi) is the amount of radioactive material that decays at a rate of 2.22 nuclear transformations per second.
