Femtoampere
One femtoampere is equal to one quadrillionth of an ampere (1e-15 amperes).
History: Femtoampere measurements became practical with very low-noise electrometers and ion-current instruments.
Current use: Used for ion beams, detector leakage, nanopore sensing, and ultra-low-current instrumentation.
Also written as fA.
Ampere
Ampere measures electric charge flow per second.
History: The ampere is an SI base unit named after Andre-Marie Ampere.
Current use: Used in circuits, electronics, electrical systems, motors, power supplies, and instrumentation.
Also written as A, amp, amps.
