Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (ampere per meter (A/m)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 A/mil² = 1.550003 × 10⁹ ampere per meter (A/m)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 abA/cm² = 100000 ampere per meter (A/m)
Step-by-step substitution for Ampere/square mil → Abampere/square centimeter:V(abA/cm²) = V(A/mil²) × ( 1.550003 × 10⁹ / 100000 ) = V(A/mil²) × 15500.031
