Best Answer

A lower-case Greek letter 'mu', followed, without a space, by an upper-case A. Incidentally, when written in full, it's 'microamperes', not 'micro amps'!

How multimeter work?

A multimeter is used to measure three electrical characteristics in circuits: Voltage Current and Resistance. AC and DC voltage and current can be measured. These three are related by Ohms law: Voltage ( in volts) = Current (in amps) times Resistance (in ohms) see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm%27s_law The main component in a multimeter is a micro amp meter. A hair thin wire is wound around an iron core on a pivot and with in a permanent magnetic field. When current flows through the coil it produces a magnetic force proportional to the current that causes the coil to move on the pivot against the permanent magnetic field. A pointer is attached to the coil and it move past the meter scale. The coil has some resistance 50 Ohms. If one volt of direct current is applied the 200 Milli amps of that current would turn the coil with so much force that it would pin the needle or break the mechanism. Typical micro ammeters are limited to 50 micro amps maximum. In a parallel circuit current divides inversely proportionally to the resistance. If a wire of 0.5 ohms is placed in parallel with the meter coil then 99% of the current will go through the wire (shunt) and 1% will go through the coil. The meter range would become 5000 micro amps or 5 Milli amps. If the shunt was made to .05 ohms the range would be 50 milli amps. Instead of a shunt a resistor of 4,950 ohms is wired in series with the coil. Now the total resistance is 5,000 ohms if 100 volts is placed across the meter and shunt the meter will only show 50 micro amps.

How do you type the micro symbol for micro amps?

Where are you typing it? In a MS Word document go to "Insert" on the menu bar, click on "symbol" and scroll down until you see the micro symbol and click on it. In MS 2003 it's about 8 lines down in that menu.

How do you convert 100 meg ohms to micro amps?

Ohms is a unit of resistance. Amps is a measure of current. They are related by Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance. In your example Resistance = 100 x 10 to the 6th power So V in Micro volts over 100 would yield current expressed as micro amps. So if you had 100 volts you would have 1 micro amp.

What is the symbol for amps?

Hi,The symbol for amps, or amperes, is A. though in the equation V=IR, current is represented by an I. the proper symbol is A.CommentDo not confuse the symbols for quantities and for units of measurement. Current is a quantity, and its symbol is an italic I. The ampere is a unit, and its symbol is an upright A.

What Symbol for Micro amp?

It's actually a small "u" that means micro, normally it is followed by a capital letter of whatever is being tested....Volts, Amps.CommentActually, the symbol for 'micro' is not a small 'u', but the Greek letter µ, pronounced 'mu'. Thus, the symbol for microamps is µA.
