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:

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 (k_source):1 A/mil² = 1.550003 × 10⁹ ampere per meter (A/m)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 A/cm² = 10000 ampere per meter (A/m)

Step-by-step substitution for Ampere/square mil → Ampere/centimeter²:V(A/cm²) = V(A/mil²) × ( 1.550003 × 10⁹ / 10000 ) = V(A/mil²) × 155000.31
