The ampere, abbreviated "amp." is the unit of measurement of electric current. According to the International System of Basic Units, its symbol is "A" and it is one of the seven units of measurement within this system. The name originated from the initials of the one who is considered the father of electrodynamics, the physicist-mathematician of French origin, André-Marie Ampère. The Ampere equals one Columbium (barely 6,241 × 10 * raised to 18 * the elemental charge) per second.
The amps are used to express the flow of electric charge. For any point that experiences a current, if the number of charged particles or the charge of the particles passing through that point increases, the amps will increase proportionally. The Law of Force of Ampere states that there is a force that attracts or repels between two parallel cables that transmit an electric current. This force is what is officially known as the ampere, which is the constant current that will produce an attractive force of 2 × 10−7 newtons per meter of length between two parallel conductors in a straight position., of an infinite length and an insignificant circular section located one meter apart in a vacuum.
Some everyday examples that include amperage might be as follows: A hearing aid device might have about 0.7 mA, a 56-inch plasma TV might have 250/290 mA, a small oven or toaster 120 mA, an incandescent light bulb 500/830 mA, and a hair dryer has an amount of about 15 mA.
