Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001621

A unit of electric current equal to one-tenth of an ampere, or 100 milliamperes, with the symbol dA. It follows from the SI prefix deci but is almost never used, because currents of this size are written in milliamperes. The ampere is defined as a flow of one coulomb of charge per second.
