ampere /am·pere/ (A) (am´per) the base SI unit of electric current strength, defined in terms of the force of attraction between two parallel conductors carrying current.
ampere (am´pir), n (Amp), a unit of measurement of the quantity of electric current, equal to a flow of 1 coulomb per second or 6.25 time 1018 electrons per second. The current produced by 1 volt acting through a resistance of 1 ohm. ampere a unit of electric current strength, the current yielded by one volt of electromotive force against one ohm of resistance. |

Battery charging capacity has been more than
doubled to a class-leading 35 amperes. Flipping one
bit, for instance, requires the equivalent of 5 million amperes of
current per square centimeter.
Many of today's systems will consume only 21 watt-hours of
electrical energy to deliver a gallon of fresh water (a 12-volt system
consuming 13 amperes can produce about 8 gallons per hour). |
