How to Convert Linear Current Density Units
Linear current density is current per unit width, for example along a conducting sheet or in the winding of an electric machine. The SI unit is ampere per metre (A/m).
Every unit on this page is stored as a fixed factor relative to one reference unit, the ampere per metre (A/m). Converting is a two step multiply and divide:
- Multiply your value by the factor of the source unit to get the value in A/m.
- Divide that result by the factor of the target unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SI unit of linear current density?
The SI unit of linear current density is the ampere per metre (A/m). Linear current density is current per unit width, for example along a conducting sheet or in the winding of an electric machine.
How do I convert A/cm to A/m?
To convert ampere per centimetre (A/cm) to ampere per metre (A/m), multiply the value in A/cm by 100. For example, 1 A/cm = 100 A/m.
How do I convert A/in to A/m?
To convert ampere per inch (A/in) to ampere per metre (A/m), multiply the value in A/in by 39.3701. For example, 1 A/in = 39.3701 A/m.
How do I convert A/m to A/cm?
To convert ampere per metre (A/m) to ampere per centimetre (A/cm), multiply the value in A/m by 0.01. For example, 1 A/m = 0.01 A/cm.
Can I see a value in every linear current density unit at once?
Yes. Enter a value and choose the source unit; the "all units" table below the converter instantly lists the equivalent in all 4 supported units. Click any row to make it the target unit.
