An electrolyte solution has an average current density of 1 ampere per square decimeter \left( \dfrac{\text{A}}{\text{dm}^2}\right)

Question

What is the current density of the solution in \dfrac{\text{A}}{\text{m}^2}

Answer 1

To convert from amperes per square decimeter to amperes per square meter, we need to convert the area unit from square decimeter to square meter.

1 square decimeter = 0.01 square meter

Therefore, to convert the current density from amperes per square decimeter to amperes per square meter, we multiply by 100:

1 ampere per square decimeter x 100 = 100 amperes per square meter

So, the current density of the electrolyte solution in \dfrac{\text{A}}{\text{m}^2} is 100 \dfrac{\text{A}}{\text{m}^2}
