A miliamp is one one thousandth of an ampere. So, the difference is that a miliamp is much smaller than an ampere.
1 Amps = 1000 miliamps 0.01 Amps = X x= 0.01 X 1000 = 10 miliamps
2.857 AMPS
1,000 miliamps equals to 1 Amp.
0.01 Amps
GFCI receptacle are designed to trip on 5 milliamps.
you just did. you could change to amps -- 0.6 amp = 600 milliamps
7 amps
There are 1,000 miliamps in 1 amp. As the NEC limits you to loading a lighting circuit to no more than 80% you can have 16 amps or 16,000 miliamps on that circuit. That would mean you can have 2,000 lamps of 8 miliamps each.
20amps
You also need to know the Voltage and wattage. Amps= Watts / Volts. Try this iPhone App "Watts2Amps"
34.539 miliamps is only 0.034539 amps. A 16 gauge wire will handle that.
