"Amperage" refers to electrical current, which is the rate at which electrical charge flows through a conductor. Sound is a rapid variation in air pressure, which has nothing to do with electrical current.

They are not related in any direct way. An electromagnetic loudspeaker is a device which can transform varying electrical current into variations in air pressure. It is sometimes useful to know the current-carrying capacity of the coil in a loudspeaker, to avoid burning it out. Even if that current limit is known, though, it doesn't tell you anything about the sound intensity or sound pressure level that the speaker will produce for that amount of current, since the efficiency of the conversion depends on many factors in the design of the speaker and its enclosure.

What is amperage?

Amperage is electric current of flow.


What is the amperage of a t2l 250v fuse?

The amperage of a T2L 250v fuse is typically 8 amps. It is a misconception that it has an amperage of 3.


If my AC technician says my unit is rated at 28.9 amps and drawing 24.8 and should draw about half of rated capacity and that compressor needs to be replaced Is this correct?

There are several amperage ratings on AC compressors/motors. Locked Motor Amperage (LRA) is the amperage that the motor is fused for. The load of the motor is expressed in amperage or wattage, which is probably the case here. Low amperage readings on an AC unit being charged by amperage load would indicate low freon. High amperage readings indicate overcharge when charging by the amperage load. AC units are not accurately charged by amperage readings and the efficiency of motors is not expressed in amperage readings.


It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?

When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?

This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.


What does volts times amperage equal?

Voltage is equal to amperage time resistance. V=IR Therefore, I'd say voltage times amperage is equal to amperage squared times resistance. VI=IIR Really there's no point in multiplying the two. However, if you were to divide voltage by amperage, you would have the resistance of the circuit. V/I=R


What is the proper amperage to use with 3-16 7018 on 5-8 plate with 45 bevel?

There is no proper amperage...no such thing as amperage, its called current... measured in amps...


What amp wire should you use for 3000w lights?

Wire size is based on the amperage drawn. To find the amperage, the voltage must be stated. Use this formula to find the amperage. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts. Once you have the amperage, restate your question using the new found amperage or state the voltage that supplies the lights.

What is the amperage of a 9.6v 1600 mah battery?

The amperage is governed by the load that is connected to the battery circuit. Divide that amperage into the 1.6 amp hours and that will give you the endurance of the battery in hours.
