==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Milliamps''' ('''mA''') are a [[unit]] of [[Electrical Current|current]] 1,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Amp]].
===About Milliamps===
: '''Milliamps''' are shortened to '''mA''' with a lower case m and an upper case A.
: [[Milli]] means one thousandth so there are 1,000 [[milliamp]]s in a [[Amp]].
===Converting to Milliamps===
